"Different understanding of the state"? Maischberger turns Laschet through the Söder mangle - the hammer comes hidden

Sandra Maischberger made an astonishingly clear judgment on Armin Laschet's appearance on her show: “Very cool”.

But he made a hidden but hard shot in the direction of Söder.

• Corona was a topic at "maischberger.die week" on Wednesday in the first - main guest: Armin Laschet.

• The moderator tried hard to elicit clear criticism from Laschet of competitor Markus Söder (CSU).

  But the blow came late - and well hidden.

• The Corona leading figures Christian Drosten and Karl Lauterbach also had to listen to complaints from discussants.

Laschet was a little upset by only one point in a whole volley of K questions - the CDU politician hid the only serious swipe between the lines.

Extremely critical words - only partly from Laschet - there were, however, in the round about two leading figures in the

"Maischberger" on ARD: the presenter wants to elicit criticism from Laschet Söder

The

host had made a real effort to elicit clear criticism of Söder from Laschet.

“How good do you find crisis management in Bavaria?” She asked about.

"Breakdowns can happen to anyone", Laschet replied, probably with a view to the Bavarian test disaster.

“I think he did a good job.

At the beginning we had different opinions, but there are also different countries and different situations. "

Laschet also did not want to criticize the new, stricter rules in the Bavarian capital.

For Munich he understands the measure - something like this is

not

unthinkable in North

either.

“It simply depends on the infection rate over the next few weeks and months.

If there are values ​​everywhere like in Munich, we will think about them, ”Laschet emphasized.

Maischberger's Talk: Laschet reacts tormented to a question - or is it "very cool"?

He did not even want to fall into another small trap of Maischberger: "We shouldn't all travel to risk areas," Laschet recommended to the citizens.

The journalist wanted to know

whether this also

meant

The interviewee shrugged and then made it clear: "No, not in risk areas abroad!"

However, Laschet's facial expression finally seemed a little tormented when Maischberger referred to the survey results on the CDU chairmanship.

There, the

far behind Söder.

“Yes, it's okay,” he states anyway, “I'm not analyzing that.” Shortly before the local elections in NRW *, the opinion pollers saw the SPD in the lead, and in the end the CDU won.

He “does not compete with anyone else”.

Maischberger's judgment is surprisingly clear: "Very cool."

Laschet secretly pokes at Söder: "Different understanding of the state" in North Rhine-Westphalia than in Bavaria?

Very hidden, however, a small

over Laschet's lips.

When asked about different philosophies in the first lockdown, he explained: "I said for myself, closing a synagogue, closing a church, that is a different act in terms of basic rights."

The

in North Rhine-Westphalia had finally closed of their own accord that the state government had merely "taken note of", Laschet emphasized.

"It is only a question of the understanding of the state, whether one just closes a church or a synagogue," he explained. This could be understood as a criticism of

Corona talk at "maischberger.die woche": Laschet against Lauterbach - "I don't take that seriously"

Laschet shot more clearly in the direction of the

He had stated that Laschet had caused high case numbers by easing it too early.

“Well, election campaign.

This is an election campaign statement, "was the reaction in the talk.

Many

have called for schools and daycare centers to be reopened, emphasizes Laschet among other things - he sees himself as a pioneer of an important finding: "Today everyone says that we must never be the first to close schools and daycare centers again." The same applies to his

At the beginning of the pandemic, he was

alone

with his desire to

"Mr. Lauterbach was against it".

The new allegation was "okay," said Laschet.

"But I don't take it seriously."

We learned a lot from the first wave.

"Personal responsibility actually worked very, very well in Germany," he emphasized.

“I also think that what Mr Drosten did today is not right to say that the big pandemic is coming”.

That may be - but to say that in principle nothing has been done differently from neighboring countries is “risky”.

This deprives people of the momentum of responsibility to "take good care of them again." However, Pilawa's appearance on the Internet met with extremely mixed reactions.

Jörg Pilawa is afraid of #Maischberger that fear of Corona will become mainstream again.

I'm more afraid that Jörg Pilawa will get more airtime again.

Incidentally, Laschet also paid attention - when it came to reacting to an important question in a completely different way than Söder would have done.
