The fourth corona wave is piling up in front of Germany - the force it will spark depends not least on politics.
But some decision-makers prefer to point their fingers at others.
Munich - Klaus Holetschek has been under special observation since day one.
Because he only took over what was probably the most important ministry in Markus Söder's cabinet at this special time during the corona pandemic.
Because the CSU boss no longer wanted to support his then Minister of Health Melanie Huml * in view of the test chaos at the borders with Austria and the Czech Republic, he entrusted Lower Bavaria *, whom he praised as a "doer", with the responsible task.
Since then, Holetschek seems to have taken over a lot from his boss: being omnipresent, expressive and, above all, happily handing out a few verbal kicks on the shin.
So the lawyer took to his chest, Andreas Gassen *, head of the health insurance company, advocate of a Freedom Day - via Twitter.
Holetschek hands out against Gassen and emphasizes: "It's 5 past 12 in Germany"
There the CSU politician wrote: “Health insurance chief Gassen for the end of the pandemic situation, sees no reason to panic.
How far can you go wrong?
All cards must now be on the table, there must be no taboos.
Neither in thinking nor in the measures.
It's 5 past 12 in Germany. ”Handed out and immediately got rid of a clear announcement without burning your fingers.
Corona policy at it's best.
In any case, Holetschek's attack caught some users.
"This man should be released from his office immediately," it says, among other things, in the comments, in which you can also read #GassenEntendung.
Or: “I have no idea what is really going on in Mr. Gassen's head, but he should only express himself privately and no longer as a 'chief physician'.
Can you take over from the man? ”Another user asks:“ How do you actually become chief medical officer?
How on earth did Gassen become? "

However, Holetschek is also facing headwinds in view of the exploding numbers of infections and overflowing intensive care units in the Free State.
“If it's so close to 12, why is clubbing still possible?
Unlike you, Gassen is a doctor.
Would also be a recommendable background for the position as health minister, ”writes one user.
Another puts his finger in the wound: "How far off you can be asked who is in the Bavarian government.
Pure real satire. "Holetschek's unfortunate appearance a few days ago is also pointed out:" I can remind you of your own PK, in which you were surprised by the development.
It wasn't long ago and no one who even remotely deals with the matter was surprised at the time.
Stop shifting blame and do your job. "

Some users are already demanding a hard lockdown
Other users are also reading the riot act by Holetschek and Co.: “Politicians must finally act together instead of playing party games. There is no reason for that. ”Some are already frustrated:“ They should have acted 6 weeks ago. We need a tough #LockdownNow. ”With this requirement, the user is far from being the only one. Many citizens seem to be already preparing for renewed profound cuts in their lives *.
It remains to be said: Holetschek's Petz attack does not go down in Twitter history as a complete success.
Rather, it leaves the question of why.
After all, as the Bavarian Minister of Health, he is entitled to take measures to contain the wave.
And that completely regardless of what the health insurance chief says, demands or thinks.
