The liberal General Secretary Michael Schnedlitz identified a “chaos of measures”. “Responsible politics, planning security and clarity look different,” said Schnedlitz. The governor of Burgenland, Hans Peter Doskozil (SP), also complained about the confusion with mask requirements and the associated controls.
“Of course we would like a consistent, clear line,” said Doskozil. “But we will only achieve our goal together if we push the political discussion aside to a certain extent.” The aim is to increase the vaccination rate, he emphasized. If Doskozil has its way, “strong attention” should be paid to the controls of the 3G rules at events, in gastronomy and in tourism. “The controls are an important aspect so that we can continue the positive trend,” said the SP state party leader. In view of the workload of the executive, not least because of the refugee situation, staff from the test centers in Burgenland should be called in to carry out checks. 50 employees are to be deployed for this from the end of September / beginning of October.
The fact that the words of Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (VP) “have been worth nothing for a long time” are already “old hat”, said Schnedlitz, who criticized that from the “5-point plan” announced by Kurz on Monday on Wednesday became a “3-point plan” and the next day the Chancellor was “overrult” by the Green Minister of Health Wolfgang Mckstein. Mckstein had recently announced further tightening should the utilization of the intensive care beds exceed the 20 percent planned in the step-by-step plan. “This government only produces embarrassing chaos,” said Schnedlitz.
