In a podcast, Baden-Württemberg's Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann addresses vaccine opponents.
He also admits mistakes.
Stuttgart - Baden-Württemberg's Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann has campaigned against vaccination opponents to understand the impending restrictions in a video podcast.
"My government does not want to exclude you or bring you into line," said the country chief on Friday (September 17th).
The Green politician explains himself further in the podcast: The stricter corona rules for unvaccinated people, which have been in force since Thursday (September 16), when the hospitals fill up with Covid patients, are not a punishment, but serve as protection.
Prime Minister Kretschmann is now approaching vaccination opponents - "You have my respect"
At the same time, the head of government in Baden-Württemberg assured the unvaccinated of his respect: "You have my own personal respect as a person and citizen - even if I consider your decision to be wrong." Whoever does not get vaccinated is putting himself and others in danger, he said .
At the end of his almost nine-minute speech, Kretschmann was self-critical: "We also sometimes miscalculated how our measures would work, which is also why we had to correct ourselves." Institutions have not increased.
