In the middle of the fourth corona wave, one thing is raging more violently than ever before, as well as the virus: the debate about people who do not want to be vaccinated. Some unvaccinated people confuse the right to freedom of expression with the expectation not to be criticized, says cabaret artist Florian Schroeder.

Daily records in case numbers and incidences – nevertheless, some are still reluctant to let the spades against Corona be missed. Cabaret artist Florian Schroeder is fed up with those vaccinated having to pay for the unwillingness of others. “Why should society as a whole bleed for the fact that a certain number of unteachable people simply refuse to be vaccinated? Then you just have to live with restrictions, that’s part of it”, he says.
Freedom of expression does not protect against counter-speech
It would be dangerous, however, if some groups were to spread disinformation in a targeted manner. “You can say anything. But if you say something that is simply wrong, there will be people who will correct you! Good this way!”, says Schroeder. This has nothing to do with a lack of freedom of expression. “Freedom means that everyone is allowed to believe in the insanity in which they want to believe. And that he can say that in public. But there is a difference between opinion and hate. And everything in which people are discredited and discriminated against (…) is not covered by freedom of expression.”
The situation between the EU and Belarus is getting worse
While the foreign ministers of the EU discussed new sanctions against Belarus on Monday in Brussels, thousands of refugees are still waiting for help in sub-zero temperatures in the border area between Belarus and Poland. RTL reporter Marc Chmiel is currently in the border area and describes at “important today” the misery of people who actually hoped for a better life. The people at the border often paid thousands of euros to travel to Belarus – only to end up suffering from hunger and thirst: “The children have apparently had to eat grass in the past few days because they had nothing to eat or drink.”
Rumors of the imminent opening of the border are spreading very quickly, but often nothing but disappointment awaits people at the border. A picture that doesn’t leave the reporter indifferent either: “The situation for the people here, now even with temperatures below zero, is really difficult to endure.”
