Hubert Aiwanger could imagine using the long-term unemployed in care as well.
This proposal met with little approval from the coalition partner.
Munich - The head of the Free Voters and Vice-Prime Minister of Bavaria, Hubert Aiwanger, is known for clearly addressing difficult issues.
So he called for a "Freedom Day" - an end to all Corona measures.
Most recently, he spoke out against the obligation to provide vaccination information for certain professional groups *.
These advances and his personal attitude to the corona vaccination have repeatedly caused disputes in the coalition in the past.
Free voters and the CSU often acted and communicated more like opposition members than like partners.
And the new proposal by the Bavarian Minister of Economic Affairs has the potential for a new dispute.
Aiwanger wants to use the long-term unemployed in care, among other things
In a conversation with
Die
Welt
, the FW boss, who is also a top candidate for the party in the federal election *, said he could imagine engaging long-term unemployed people for social services. For example, they could be used in care, in parks or in the building yard. In the event of a refusal, Hartz IV could be cut by 30 percent, "but you shouldn't cut people down to zero," said the Vice-Prime Minister.
According to Aiwanger, the child should be called "work initiation".
"In any case, it should not result in harassment or humiliation," said the head of the free electorate.
It's about appreciating people and giving them work.
“I would deploy people where we used to do community service.
[...] We are in the middle of a nursing emergency, every helping hand is urgently needed there. "

Bavaria's Minister of Health Holetschek thinks little of the proposal
Criticism came immediately from the coalition partner. Bavaria's Minister of Health Klaus Holetschek (CSU) rejected the request on Friday. “Our goal is to professionalize nursing and upgrade the profession. We will not succeed with forced labor, they would probably have the opposite effect. ”Aiwanger's proposal testifies to“ complete ignorance ”of the situation in nursing. “Nursing is not about holding hands, but about protecting people's health.” Anyone who works with elderly and needy people in care must be well trained and do this voluntarily, “otherwise the shot will backfire”.
