The resistance to the pandemic policy during the Corona crisis by Prime Minister Markus Söder is growing - also in the CSU.
Several politicians express sharp criticism.
Erding -
Deputy District Administrator and District Councilor Franz Hofstetter goes particularly far.
In the Facebook group “Corona-Virus Landkreis Erding”, which runs the district office, the CSU politician wrote under a post: “The opening (of schools and daycare centers, editor's note) is long overdue.
How can our Prime Minister despise our children so much? "
Corona crisis in Bavaria: Junge Union railed against sole decision-maker Söder
In an interview with the
Erdinger Anzeiger
, the former mayor of Taufkirchen explains his accusation: “The rights and needs of our children are despised.” Not to be forgotten are the many people, especially children, who are handicapped.
The district provides the means for the care, "but we cannot prevent their isolation".
Hofstetter wants "a little less bureaucratic thinking and acting".
Corona policy of the CSU: More and more party members against Söder - including women
Ulrike Scharf, state chairwoman of the Women's Union, had already moved away from Söder's tough course at the weekend.
She calls for schools and daycare centers to be reopened as soon as possible, provided that appropriate hygiene concepts are in place (we reported).
Because of Söder's corona policy: Several Erdingers are turning their backs on the CSU
Other leading Erdinger CSU politicians report that there have recently been some party withdrawals - with the explicit reference to Söder's corona policy.
And from the Junge Union comes the complaint that Söder decides entirely alone and does not take any advice from the grassroots.
"Young people in particular would be disadvantaged for years to come," said one functionary who did not want to be named.
Due to the months of missed lessons, pupils would be severely slowed in their development.
But you can't get through that in the state government.
Erdinger District Administrator and Mayor for partial opening of the schools despite Corona: alternating lessons are possible
District administrator and CSU district chairman Martin Bayerstorfer has been taking a different stance than Söder for weeks.
In the autumn he first lifted the mask requirement in elementary schools.
His reasoning: There was hardly any evidence of infection among children.
After the Christmas break, Bayerstorfer advocated alternating classes instead of homeschooling.
He doesn't think teaching half-classes is risky.
Erdings Mayor Max Gotz shared this opinion in an interview with our newspaper last week.
However, he pushes the buck to the FW Minister of Education Michael Piazolo.
Gotz would have expected from him that he would use his departmental responsibility and reopen the schools.
A few days ago the student Selina (17) from the district of Dachau caused a stir because she had to give a presentation in the deepest snow because of the bad internet in homeschooling.
The politicians became aware - and finally Andi Scheer (CSU) offered his help personally.
