Daniel Brössler, Berlin
On a day like this and after a session like this, there is of course a lot to be said. About vaccination, about the difficulties that are hidden behind the acronym 2G plus and also about schools that should remain as open as possible during the pandemic. Franziska Giffey won’t leave anything out, but first of all the new Governing Mayor of Berlin would just like to say thank you. Thank you “for the very good preparation of this Prime Minister’s Conference”. You could already see from the “duration or rather the brevity” of less than three hours that everything was “very, very well prepared”. And that is of course, the SPD politician assures, also to “the leadership and the good preparatory work from the Federal Chancellery”. There will be more talk of leadership in the course of this press conference, which is not such a good sign for Olaf Scholz, sitting on Giffey’s right.
