For months, the resolutions have completely ignored the needs and wishes of people and companies.

The economy must sit at the table in the negotiations, demanded Wolf.

"It must no longer happen that the highest politicians in this country make economic policy decisions without involving the necessary expertise."

In view of the current opening steps in individual regions, he also advocated uniform regulations.

It must stop that every municipality can go its own separate way.

Wolf turned against compulsory testing for companies.

This is not logistically feasible.

In addition, there were not enough tests and the restriction to the operations was "grossly unfair," said the general metal president of the newspaper.

Chancellery chief Helge Braun (CDU) brought such a test requirement into play.

If at least two thirds of the companies did not test their employees twice a week by the beginning of April, then there should be mandatory testing instead of the current voluntary commitment of the economy, Braun also said
