The current Corona measures were heatedly discussed at Markus Lanz.
Baden-Württemberg's Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann was particularly pissed off on one topic.
Recently, the number of
infections has
decreased significantly and the number of
infections
has eased somewhat
in many federal states
.
Due to the falling number of
Corona
cases, school openings are heatedly discussed.
The planned opening of the primary school and daycare center in Baden-Württemberg was canceled at short notice.
Hamburg - In the last few days, the declining
corona infection numbers *
gave cause for hope again.
Therefore, the relaxation of corona measures is being discussed more and more often.
In the talk show with
Markus Lanz
, possible school
openings
and Baden-Württemberg's
going it alone were
heatedly discussed.
Especially the
green *
-
Prime Minister
Winfried Kretschmann
fell on his emotional reaction.
Markus Lanz: Winfried Kretschmann loses his composure in the talk
It's a topic that many quickly get emotional about - the
Corona *
measures
and the associated school closings.
For many parents, the current
restrictions are
an enormous burden.
A burden that will remain at least until February
14th
, because that is how long the current measures should apply nationwide.
But the state government around Prime Minister
Winfried Kretschmann
already
prepared a paper for
the extension of the
corona lockdown in
mid-January that provides a different path.
In
Baden-Württemberg
, the primary schools and daycare centers should
be reopened
from February
1st
, regardless of the joint draft resolution from the federal and state governments.
The final decision should not be made until January
28th
.
Secondary schools and vocational schools should not reopen until February 14th.
One day after the broadcast, it is clear that the reopening of the primary schools and daycare centers must be canceled.
The reason for the change of course are two cases of a virus mutation in a day care center in Freiburg.
So far, the state government has not yet announced when and whether the schools will open earlier.
Winfried Kretschmann at Markus Lanz: "Now I just have to be clear"
The evening before,
Winfried Kretschmann
defended
his state's measures with passion.
Kretschmann got
emotional when
Lanz
spoke to him about his plan to open schools earlier than agreed at the ministerial conference.
Kretschmann first emphasized that, apart from minor deviations, the Prime Ministers and Chancellor agreed and they would work together.
When
Lanz asks
him again about
going it alone
,
Kretschmann
reacts
somewhat angrily. "The Prime Minister's Conference has usually stayed together for the most part."
Kretschmann
reacted
blankly
to
the criticism of the premature opening of the primary schools
.
“I don't know why it's being exaggerated.” In addition, one shouldn't pretend that primary schools are the problem with this
pandemic
.
Above all,
Kretschmann
emphasized
that the
risk of infection
in primary schools is low and that the home office in particular
would play
a relevant role in containing the
infection
.
His plan “is only about elementary schools, all others will remain closed”,
Kretschmann
insists
staccato-like.
"You don't have to pretend that villains are at work with every small deviation."
It is personally important for
Kretschmann to
be weighed with the gold scales “with the children, with the little ones”.
"We owe that to them," said
Kretschmann
on
ZDF
.
Kretschman faces difficult election campaigns in Baden Württemberg
The emotional appearance at
Lanz
and the broad media response to his single-handed approach to school opening should come in handy for
Kretschmann
with a view to the upcoming
state elections *
.
The
Kretschmanns
Greens are
currently in
a head-to-head race with their current small coalition partner, the
CDU
.
According to a poll by the polling institute INSA on January 13th, 30% of the votes fall on the
CDU
and the
Greens
.
