Lockdown hints: Greens uprising against the traffic light’s Corona plan – domestic policy

by time news

The traffic light parties want to abolish the large lockdown cutlery of the current government. To this end, the “epidemic emergency of national scope” is to come to an end. The traffic light wants to implement its own corona plan for the winter.

CDU and CSU have been criticizing the plans and the end of the epidemic emergency for weeks. Now resistance is also building up in one of the three traffic light parties.

Greens uprising against the traffic light’s Corona plan!

The three Greens health ministers from Hesse, Brandenburg and Baden-Württemberg jointly call for the epidemic situation to be prolonged, which is of national importance.

“In view of the current infection dynamics and the burden on hospitals, which are already on the verge of absolute overload in some regions, the epidemic situation of national scope should be prolonged,” say the three Green State Health Ministers Kai Klose (Hesse), Ursula Nonnemacher (Brandenburg ) and Manne Lucha (Baden-Württemberg).

This would ensure “that all the measures required by the experts can be implemented,” the three Green Ministers argued.

Even within the traffic light negotiators, the displeasure is becoming more and more apparent.

Green health expert Janosch Dahmen (40), for example, calls for an “immediate emergency brake” in view of the record number of infections. Dahmen called on the federal states to take “more consistent measures that are possible on the basis of the current legal situation”.

Translated means: The Green politician wants the countries to make use of the lockdown measures that are still possible, including contact restrictions, while he and his party and the traffic light partners SPD and FDP want to abolish precisely these hammer measures.

And: Greens co-party leader Robert Habeck (52) speaks for the first time about one Lockdown for the unvaccinated.

“Contact restrictions are painful cuts, we all know that too well. But in view of the dramatic situation, they may be necessary regionally for unvaccinated people, ”Habeck told the newspapers of the Funke media group.

Habeck seems to have forgotten that he himself was one of the main negotiators of the possible traffic light coalition and that he too had supported the previously presented Corona plan for the winter of the SPD, Greens and FDP.

The SPD also wants to tighten the Corona plan

But Dahmen and Habeck are not alone.

The SPD chairwoman Saskia Esken has also spoken out in favor of tightening the draft for the new infection protection law. “It is very possible and I would also support it in places that we sharpen the bill again,” said Esken on Saturday the ARD capital studio.

In addition to regular corona tests for employees in areas such as nursing or in schools, “mandatory vaccination in these areas” should also be discussed.

The SPD leader does not want to rule out a lockdown for unvaccinated people.

Man wants “that everyone is well protected and that we can get through the winter well with restrictions, those who are sensible, who are vaccinated, who also get tested regularly, who get a booster, that they do not have to endure these restrictions “, So Esken.

The new infection protection law, which the Bundestag first discussed on Thursday, provides for the continuation of the previous corona measures such as mask requirements and distance requirements. In the meantime, the traffic light parties are planning additional regulations such as a nationwide 3G rule in the workplace and test obligations in care submissions. The details are still to be determined, there will be a hearing on Monday.
