While the country has not yet got the corona infection numbers under control, the parliamentary group leader of the Union expresses a proposal that annoys many parents.

Berlin - While the corona situation in Germany is still tense due to the infection situation and the new mutation known as Omikron, calls from scientists and politicians for tougher measures are getting louder.

Ralph Brinkhaus, parliamentary group leader of the Union in the German Bundestag, brings a proposal into play to contain the current development, which could cause indignation among many parents of school-age children.

In a conversation with

Die Welt am Sonntag

, the CDU politician said: “If the situation gets worse, I think we should also think about starting the Christmas holidays one to two weeks earlier, in order to make contacts in schools, for example to reduce."

Corona: Will the Christmas holidays be brought forward and extended?

Doctors and many scientists took a stand in the earlier stages of the pandemic about what a closure of educational institutions means for schoolchildren and said that children were the "real losers".

Also due to the fact that school closings usually cause major professional problems for many parents, there were also many protests and letters of anger to the governments.

The fact that thousands of people gather in football stadiums in many places also creates resentment in many places.

Brinkhaus also criticizes these contacts: “Last weekend there were over 400,000 spectators in the football stadiums, that's simply the wrong signal.” Fractional colleague Markus Söder has already indicated that new ghost games are also an issue outside of Saxony.

New Corona variant: Union parliamentary group leader calls for lockdown for everyone

In addition, the 53-year-old takes a position on allegations that the outgoing federal government focused too much on the election campaign instead of fighting Corona.

Brinkhaus is of the opinion that not only politicians, but also the population and the media misjudged the situation: “There was a broad feeling that now we want our lives back.

And yet it is correct that all of us - the federal states and the federal government - should have acted more foresight. "

In addition, the parliamentary group leader commented on the issue of renewed lockdown.

In his opinion, this is not only necessary for unvaccinated people.

When asked whether we will return to a lockdown for everyone, he says: “Yes, now we need to massively reduce contacts beyond 2G and 2Gplus (...).

In addition to the already dramatic situation in our clinics, we are now receiving news of the new virus variant in South Africa.

The situation is extremely dangerous, the situation is acute.

We have to act immediately. "

In the meantime, the next federal government under Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) also seems to be considering this step.
