In an interview in ZDF heute-journal, Claus Kleber and NRW Family Minister Joachim Stamp talk about possible school closings.
The opinions of the two could hardly be more different.
Claus Kleber
speaks
to NRW Family
Minister Joachim Stamp
on
ZDF
heute-journal
.
Kleber interrupts the FDP politician several times.
The interview is celebrated online.
Mainz - will the schools stay open?
Are there digital lessons again?
Are the classes divided?
Or are they shut down completely, as in Austria, for example.
The operation of schools in the
Corona crisis
* is a hotly debated topic in Germany.
This should also be discussed on Wednesday at the Corona summit.
In
ZDF
heute-journal, presenter
Claus Kleber
spoke
to the North Rhine-Westphalian Family Minister,
Joachim Stamp
, about it.
Or rather: argued.
Again and again, both interrupted each other in the six-minute interview.
There was disagreement on the subject of
vaccines
*, but especially the sleepy preparation in the summer months for winter seems to annoy Kleber.
Why do the countries not allow shared lessons, half in home schooling, the other half in the classroom? Asks Kleber, for example.
Or why there are no digital solutions.
Dispute in the heute-journal: Stamp counters Kleber - schools do not have a "virus thrower"
Stamp counters: Schools are not a
“virus thrower”
.
All studies would show that.
Today journal moderator Kleber interrupts him: That is not true, a new study from Munich would show that of course children also get sick.
the number of unreported cases is even five times higher than that of adults.
Experts agreed that something had to be changed.
Because, according to
Kleber,
it almost sounds like a reproach: "There is damned little done in schools."
Kleber also underpins what has been said with an example: The
Prime Minister's Conference
on November 16 was held by video.
“No Prime Minister would go into a confined space with 30 other people anymore.
Have the students do that.
After
eight months of preparation
in the schools, there is
nothing else
to offer. "
Kleber ends the interview in the heute-journal: "I think we won't get together tonight"
Stamp tries again to contradict Kleber and explains why changes are not so easy to make.
The
ZDF
journalist then ended the interview with the words: "I think we won't get together tonight."
The
interview
and above all
Kleber's
tough and direct demeanor was
celebrated on
social media
.
From “Bravo, Mr. Kleber!” To “I'm celebrating the glue right now”, almost everyone took the side of the
ZDF presenter
.
Some even compared the conversation to a boxing match and scored the questions on points - clearly in favor of Kleber.

However, some also complained that Kleber rarely let the FDP politician speak and interrupted several times.
Kleber
was accused of appearing “unprepared”, he reports here “biased”, writes
Handelsblatt
journalist
Thomas Sigmund
, for example
.
Meanwhile, Kleber expressed a clear opinion just a few days later outside of the “heute journal” - he spoke to colleague Maybrit Illner about Donald Trump's presidency, as
