Jens Spahn's vaccination peak is just a kind of valve.
If Munich and Berlin do not prepare, it could fly spectacularly around their ears.
A comment by Christian Deutschländer.
In the
corona pandemic
, German politics
stumbled into
vaccination
against
the virus
.
Now the “vaccination summit” with Federal Health Minister
Jens Spahn
is supposed to
help.
Christian Deutschländer, Head of Politics at
Münchner Merkur
, does not believe that the consultations
can bring about
a
quick solution
.
The best researchers in the world, many of them from Europe, have developed
several corona vaccines
in record time
.
And in record time, the EU managed to make this triumph
look
like
a
heap of rubble
.
In anger about the
bad purchasing policy in Brussels
, sadness, worry about the serious damage of every single lockdown day and impatience accumulate.
Unfortunately, because Brussels feels so remote and
Commission President von der Leyen is
not elected by the citizens, it is primarily the national governments that get the grudge.
Urgent questions are rolling towards Merkel - new chaos could also fly spectacularly around Munich
Jens Spahn's “vaccination summit”
is therefore just a kind of
valve
.
The pressure from the federal states is increasing, which can be seen in the increasingly sharp statements made by Bayern
Söder
, who for months did not say a bad word to Berlin.
Spahn and
Chancellor Merkel are
personally faced with the question of why they did not order vaccines for Germany in the national interest.
This question is dangerous because it touches the very foundations of the European project;
because EU-wide procurement was spot on.
But is it forbidden, especially under the impression that our old people are dying a thousand times over?
The vaccination summit cannot bring a quick solution, perhaps only relief if capacities are redistributed.
In addition, German politicians urgently need to
prepare
for
phase 2
.
There will be a lot of vaccine later in spring (yes, Brussels has ordered enough in the long run).
If the new vaccination bottleneck turns out to be
organizational
chaos
, Munich and Berlin will be spectacularly upset.
