In order to break the corona wave, the parliamentary group leader of the CDU / CSU in the Bundestag, Ralph Brinkhaus, calls for quick measures. Including the advance of the Christmas holidays. –

The chairman of the CDU / CSU parliamentary group in the Bundestag, Ralph Brinkhaus, has called for further quick measures to contain the corona virus – including a possible bringing forward of the Christmas holidays. He told “Welt am Sonntag”: “Should the situation worsen, I think we should also think about starting the Christmas holidays one to two weeks earlier in order to reduce contacts in schools, for example.”

Break wave quickly

He accused the future governing parties, the SPD, the Greens and the FDP, of acting too slowly. If the likely future Chancellor Olaf Scholz wants a permanent Corona Crisis Council, he must convene it immediately. “The fact is: we now have to massively reduce contacts in order to break the fourth wave. To do this, the old and new governments, the government factions and the opposition must work together quickly and effectively.” The Union faction is ready to do so. In view of the new virus variant that has emerged in South Africa, he said: The situation is extremely dangerous, the situation is acute. We have to act immediately. “

Is the vaccination light coming?

On the question of how he feels about a general vaccination requirement, Brinkhaus said: “We are discussing this very openly in the parliamentary group.” In any case, he was in favor of exhausting all possibilities to break the fourth wave. “Last weekend there were over 400,000 spectators in the football stadiums, that’s just the wrong signal,” he said. A general compulsory vaccination is a physical intervention, which ultimately also has to be enforced. “That has to be legally justified and implemented through to the end. And we are working on that.”
