Germany, your booming firecrackers – time to stop it!?The past New Year's Eve was partly a nightmare of burning cars, trash bins, balconies, a parking garage, and shattering windows caused by exploding firecrackers. Five casualties, numerous injured, firefighters and paramedics were constantly on duty, and in Berlin, there were several hundred arrests. 
But what did the buyers do? Supermarket raiders filled shopping carts with firecrackers and seemingly celebrated themselves as the pyro champions of the year. In circulating videos, viewers could get the impression that quite a few people with a migration background turned from mere firecracker users into fighters, even targeting police officers, although public media claimed that the noise could trigger trauma among migrants from war zones. This apparently does not apply to all people with a migration background. Ban zones were partially ignored by pyrotechnics enthusiasts. Since those lighting fuses turned not only Berlin but also some places nearby into near-war zones, it was to be expected that politicians would immediately start discussions to ban such chaos in the future. But with elections coming up, campaigners will hardly dare to take the New Year's firecrackers away from the users for fear of alienating soon-to-be voters. Because everywhere it seems the firecracker users knew no limits. So blame is passed back and forth. Fine dust and CO2 fearers have not prevailed so far. There was a first attempt a few years ago. Pet owners repeatedly call for more restrictions but generally appeal that firecracker lovers voluntarily abstain from fireworks. PS: I tried to express myself in a gender-inclusive way. I hope I succeeded. If there is chaos everywhere anyway, then it should at least be described according to the guidelines, right? Author: AI-Translation - Michael Thurm | 02.01.2025 |
