Kubicki considers Germany to be “wrong-way drivers” in the fight against corona
In the debate about the Corona course in spring, the FDP insists on an extensive end to everyday restrictions. “When the danger situation eases, measures must also be scaled back”said Federal Minister of Justice Marco Buschmann (FDP) to the newspapers of the Funke media group. “One cannot just preventively restrict millions of basic rights in the long run.” Any solution must take this into account.
According to a relaxation plan decided by the federal and state governments As of March 20th, “all more profound” restrictions will be lifted if the situation in the clinics allows it. The nationwide legal basis for such measures expires on March 19. A new basis for a basic protection that is still necessary in spring is currently being discussed.
Federal Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach (SPD) had emphasized in the Funke newspapers that the countries must have the opportunity to react early to the coming waves. This included Mask requirements and contact restrictions, upper limits for private meetings should also remain possible and events as well as access rules, for example for gastronomy. The instruments should be able to be used if necessary, if state parliaments determine the need.
FDP Vice President Wolfgang Kubicki told the Funke newspapers that he was certain that Lauterbach’s ideas for further far-reaching measures beyond March 20 would not be realized. It cannot be explained to anyone why Germany is acting “as a wrong-way driver” in the fight against corona in Europe. “We will not support such a special path. We didn’t have an overload of the healthcare system and we won’t get any more because of Corona.” (dpa)
