The Saarland Prime Minister Tobias Hans has supported the push to end the epidemic situation.
“The pandemic is not over, but the vaccinations have made it less terrifying.
We have to take this into account, ”said the CDU politician of“ Bild am Sonntag ”.
At the same time, he emphasized: “Even after the epidemic has ended, the federal states must be able to decide on measures.
Berlin - But you can't lump all countries together.
Federal states with a high vaccination quota must be able to regain their freedoms. "
The initiative comes from Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU).
He has been the subject of controversy for days, also in view of the currently increasing number of infections.
Critics fear a “patchwork quilt” of measures and regulations.
Spahn emphasized in the “Interview of the Week” on Deutschlandfunk that it was a matter of ending a state of emergency after 19 months.
The powers of the federal government should be restored to a normal state.
He stressed that this did not mean “Freedom Day” or the end of all measures.
These could also be regulated without the state of emergency.
