Union and SPD accuse each other of bad corona policies.

The designated SPD leader Lars Klingbeil pilloried Markus Söder and his Bavarian politics.

Berlin - The new traffic light coalition has not yet been formed, but the former coalition partners in the Bundestag are already fighting each other: The parliamentary manager of the Union faction in the Bundestag has already spoken of a “power-political arrogance” of the traffic light coalition.

But there is also a lot going on outside the Reichstag building.

CSU boss Markus Söder shot against the corona policy of the traffic light parties.

SPD General Secretary Lars Klingbeil countered now.

Söder's traffic light criticism: Klingbeil reacts with allegations against Union

At the CDU state party conference in Dresen, CSU leader Markus Söder made serious accusations against the traffic light parties: “Where is the traffic light? Where is Olaf Scholz? ”He asked on Saturday (November 7th) and asked the traffic light representative to take responsibility. “We now urgently need uniform solutions. The traffic light ducks completely, ”said Söder. There is talk of a Freedom Day and an end to the pandemic situation if exactly the opposite takes place.

Klingbeil countered with criticism of the Union's behavior in the current corona situation.

"People act as if they have nothing more to do with politics, they say goodbye to the role of the opposition," said Klingbeil, who is nominated for the SPD chairmanship, on Monday evening in the ZDF-

heute journal

.

"And I was always very happy that we managed to keep party politics out of this difficult pandemic response, and it is a pity that the Union is not making it at the moment."

Söder's corona policy under fire - Klingbeil: "Nobody prevents Söder from doing it"

Klingbeil put Söder in the pillory: The FDP and the Greens had acted more responsibly in the opposition in the fight against the Corona crisis for many months than Söder has been doing in the past few days, said the designated SPD head of the

Rheinische Post

on Wednesday (10 November). Klingbeil sharply rejected Söder's allegations: "Nobody - especially not the traffic light parties - is preventing Markus Söder from doing anything about the enormously high numbers in Bavaria or from increasing the vaccination rate."

Nevertheless, Söder tries to take on the role of the opposition leader and loudly knocks slogans.

"But so far I haven't heard substantially what is actually missing in Bavaria in order to make a meaningful Corona policy," the 43-year-old ranted against Söder's policy.

"I find Mr. Söder destructive, that's a shame," said Klingbeil, summarizing his opinion of the Bavarian Prime Minister.
