Pandemic: Kretschmann on vaccination: Lacked leadership

Baden-Württemberg’s Prime Minister Kretschmann takes the federal government around Chancellor Scholz to court. The corona vaccination requirement was talked about and in the end it failed.

After the failure of a compulsory corona vaccination, Baden-Württemberg’s Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann criticized the federal government around Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD).

“Obviously there was a lack of leadership,” said the Green politician to the Berlin “Tagesspiegel”. Kretschmann, together with Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU), had already pushed for the introduction of compulsory vaccination in November.

“That would have been the right time, but politics has not used this momentum,” criticized the head of government, without naming Scholz. “Then the vaccination requirement was talked about and in the end it failed, even though there is a majority for it in Parliament.”

The compromise supported by Scholz and Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach (SPD) for compulsory vaccination from the age of 60 fell through in the Bundestag on Thursday – most members of the co-governing FDP also voted against it in the vote without group specifications. The government had not submitted its own draft.
