The Minister of Justice wants political decisions relating to the pandemic to be dealt with and sees deficiencies in one point in particular in the Corona policy.
Federal Justice Minister Marco Buschmann has spoken out in favor of coming to terms with the Corona policy of the pandemic years. “If people’s fundamental rights are being encroached on in such a massive way, we have to critically examine it afterwards,” Buschmann told the newspapers of the Funke media group. Everyone involved in the pandemic rules owes this to the citizens.
“Some political decisions during the pandemic years have greatly polarized the country and cost a lot of trust – although they were certainly made with the best of intentions,” said the FDP politician. Reappraisal is not about pointing fingers at individuals, but about learning together from mistakes.
Buschmann sees deficiencies in the transparency of Corona policy in particular. “It was my house’s role to insist on proportionality during the pandemic. Many decisions should have been more comprehensible to the public: not in consultations with prime ministers in camera, but in an interdisciplinary manner and in parliament.”
A few days ago, the online magazine “Multipolar” made public the partially redacted minutes of the crisis team at the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) from January 2020 to April 2021. As a result, calls for a review of state policy to contain the corona pandemic with tens of thousands of deaths in Germany became louder. Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach (SPD) had recently shown himself open to a review, but did not want to decide what this should look like in concrete terms.
