Merz is in favor of a quick lockdown end for smaller companies

03:01 a.m.:

The CDU chairman Friedrich Merz has spoken out in favor of a quick end to the lockdown, especially for small and medium-sized companies.

“For many small companies, the point has already been reached where they cannot go on.

I am particularly concerned about small and medium-sized companies.

They have to get out of lockdown as quickly as possible, back to normal management with a hygiene concept as quickly as possible, ”he told the“ Bild ”newspaper.

For many people, the isolation in lockdown is difficult to cope with, Merz said.

“It's a difficult situation psychologically for everyone.

Above all, the educational and developmental deficits in our children are becoming increasingly difficult to catch up. "

Ramelow notices "that the hut is on fire in Thuringia"

02.45 a.m.:

Thuringia's Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow (left) has spoken out in drastic words against easing the corona pandemic.

"We just have to face the fact that the virus is only just beginning to really pick up speed," he said in the ZDF's "heute journal".

“I notice that my hut is on fire in Thuringia.

Today is a bad day for me, ”he said.

“Because today we have exceeded the 300 incidence in the whole of Thuringia, and all rural districts and urban districts have exceeded 200.

There is no longer any room for relaxation and the debate from relaxation to relaxation. «His appeal to the Thuringian economy is to refrain from doing anything that is not necessary at the moment.

In April, the state parliament in Thuringia should actually be re-elected.

According to Ramelow, the parties will negotiate in the coming week.

“And I don't want to anticipate that.

But one thing is clear: we also have 30,000 election workers whom we also have to protect.

And to that extent, everyone involved has to think about it: If there is no movement in January or February, then we will have to help decide that too. "
