What next with Omikron? How is Germany finally getting out of the corona pandemic? And what will become of the Bundesliga start on tomorrow, Friday?
Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder (55, CSU) is known for his clear words. In the morning he spoke plain text at BILD Live.
Söder about …
… the division of the country and lateral thinkers
“We have to try to think about how we can heal and reconcile society again,” Söder sums up.
“We have to differentiate ourselves from those who try to pursue other goals through and through Corona. This is especially the right-wing extremists, especially those who are highly aggressive. But there are also a lot of people who are simply insecure, annoyed, tired and stressed. And we also need an offer for them. ”
… demonstrations against corona measures
“For many, Corona has become a matter of faith. But first we have to see what threat really exists. “
With a view to parents who take their children to demonstrations, Söder said: “I don’t interfere with parental rights. But it is very important that we always try to keep the right level. “
… the upcoming MPK and the danger of Omikron
Surprisingly, Söder said that the meeting between the federal and state governments tomorrow, Friday, will take place too early from his point of view.
“My suggestion: we will advise tomorrow and then decide a few days later. We are slowly getting into the area for medium-sized businesses and the self-employed;
He provided the reason for this statement directly behind: “How dangerous is omicron when the incidence is increasing? How does that affect the hospital situation in the process? ”Questions that have not yet been answered reliably.
“If there are any measures tomorrow, they have to be scientifically justified. I heard that the Expert Council did not recommend any more stringent measures. ”
Söder spoke out in favor of the fact that there must now be “comprehensible, sensible decisions” by everyone, “which then also stand up to the courts”.
“Flight blind” in the Corona numbers
Rising numbers were to be expected after the holidays. “What strikes me overall, however,” says Söder, “there seem to be certain differences between the RKI and the Federal Ministry of Health.”
But it is important that people speak with one voice. “We need caution, we need a sense of proportion, but also a reliable base of figures.”
… the compulsory vaccination
When asked whether the vaccination is compulsory, Söder said: “The government has to present that.”
“The government has to make a proposal as to when, for whom and for which groups vaccination should apply. With such a socially controversial topic, clear sovereignty is required. ”
However, Söder accuses the traffic light government of not having this sovereignty on the subject.
When asked whether the vaccination will be compulsory on March 1st, the Bavarian Prime Minister said:
… cluttered rules and new quarantine rules
Söder advocated an understandable and sensible quarantine rule at BILD live, just as neighboring countries are doing. And not only for the critical infrastructure, but also for normal everyday life.
About the FC Bayern game against Gladbach
“I think it would be better if the FC Bayern game were postponed,” said Söder. Otherwise it is not fair. He is already assuming that the question of postponements will also come with other Bundesliga teams.
