Walter-Borjans criticizes Schäuble’s statements about protecting life
SPD leader Norbert Walter-Borjans has criticized the statements made by Bundestag President Wolfgang Schäuble (CDU) about protecting life. “So far there is no drug or vaccine against Covid-19. That is why it is not only a question of adequate ventilation capacity at all times, but also of avoiding as many infections as possible until the development of effective medications, ”said Walter-Borjans WELT. “This is very different from accepting an unavoidable risk of death, which we are all subject to,” said the SPD leader. “It’s about the massive life threatening Corona and the recognizable chance to get the pandemic under control.”
Walter-Borjans complained that Schäuble’s statements were misleading. “What he said, however, apparently gave some the impression that it was good with the restrictions. This is dangerous. If we now prematurely loosen restrictions from a misunderstood trade-off between money and life, we will lose both in the end. ”
The FDP chairman Christian Lindner gave Schäuble backing: “In view of the drastic encroachments on freedom, the contribution of the President of the Bundestag must be taken seriously,” said the FDP parliamentary group leader WELT. “The corona crisis is a special challenge, but it doesn’t justify everything, even with large majorities. For this reason, the Federal Government must constantly weigh up all measures and continually justify them. People rightly expect proportionality. “
Schäuble hadDaily mirror“With regard to the corona restrictions, the statement that everything else has to resign from the protection of life is” not correct in this absolute “.
