FDP vice-president Wolfgang Kubicki has a request from Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder to the Corona policy of a possible traffic light coalition sharply rejected. The declaration by Söders, SPD, Greens and FDP should set the legal framework for further corona measures in the federal government, “is brazen and nonsensical,” Kubicki told the German press agency on Friday.
Söder knows exactly that every state parliament, including the Bavarian one, in accordance with Section 28a (7) of the Infection Protection Act himself could decide on the continued validity of all measures. “With his desperate finger pointing to Berlin, he tries to divert attention from his own ineptitude and to conceal the loss of importance in power politics that has become apparent. Because then it would become clear that he didn’t even have his own coalition behind him, ”continues Kubicki.
Söder had said that the new Ampel majority should “not duck”. “Without a legal basis from the federal government, the citizens would be defenseless,” said the CSU boss after the end of the Prime Minister’s Conference in Koenigswinter, North Rhine-Westphalia. The so-called epidemic situation of national scope applies until November 25th, the Bundestag is responsible for the extension. This determination is the basis for regulations and central corona measures in Germany.
