Many people want the corona pandemic measures to be examined again. But the form of reappraisal divides parties – and also the coalition.
After months of struggle, the traffic light coalition was unable to agree on a suitable way to deal with the corona pandemic. “To our great regret, we have not yet been able to reach a sufficient agreement in the traffic light to deal with the corona pandemic as comprehensively and sustainably as we as the SPD would like,” said SPD parliamentary group vice-president Dagmar Schmidt to the partner newspapers of the Neue Berliner Editorial Society (NBR). .
The SPD had favored a citizens’ assembly. The first such parliamentary committee with randomly selected participants presented recommendations on nutrition policy. The FDP, on the other hand, proposes a study commission with MPs and experts.
That’s not enough for the SPD. “We want to shed light on all levels: federal, state and local governments are involved, as are citizens,” said Schmidt. “Unfortunately, our high demands for this sustainable approach to the pandemic could not be met with the FDP,” she complained.
The responsible CDU MP Philipp Amthor (CDU) sees this as “renewed evidence of the traffic light’s inability to act and reach agreement”. A few days ago, the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) called for a Corona investigation committee. The AfD supports this.
