In the interview, Söder also announced stricter controls of the corona rules: “Local regulatory authorities and the police are now called upon to work together. We rely on a higher density of controls, fines and, in the case of repeated violations, closings. Otherwise there is a risk that vaccinated people will quietly withdraw from the catering trade and at events because they do not see themselves adequately protected. “
He criticized that Corona had often been played down. “Only recently, parties like the FDP called for a Freedom Day. It is therefore completely absurd that the future federal government is now calling for the end of the epidemic situation – where we have the highest corona numbers of all waves. The seriousness of the danger is not conveyed, ”he said.
He is glad that his Deputy Prime Minister Hubert Aiwanger (Free Voters) has now been vaccinated. “Hopefully prominent soccer players will follow suit. Because 2G applies to the fans in the stadium, but only 3G to the players? That would be difficult to understand. “Most recently, national player Joshua Kimmich caused a stir that he had not yet been vaccinated. (dpa)
