Chancellors presented today, Monday Sebastian Kurz, Vice Chancellor Werner Kogler, Minister of Health Rudolf Anschober and home secretary Karl Nehammeras it is in Austria after Easter to continue in the Corona crisis.
In the neighboring country there were steps for the country to start up again Germany much praise – but also skepticism.
Read some passages from German daily newspapers here:
Süddeutsche Zeitung: “Measures have taken effect”, criticism of “self-praise”
“Of course, it is gratifying that after four weeks of the ‘minimal operation’ declared by the chancellor, the attempt should begin to gradually revive parts of the economy.
The rigid measures have taken effect and the infection numbers have stabilized. The government has reason to praise itself and the disciplined population.
But nothing has been won. With this first plan for the time after that Austria just one step ahead of the other European countries.
It is therefore out of place that Chancellor Kurz garnishes the self-praise, as usual, with a reference to other countries that are less well off by this crisis come. He certainly does not have to put his light under a bushel, but nobody is helped with such vain delusion. ”
Die Welt: “There is clear communication in Austria”
“Austria appears from today’s perspective crisis to master in an exemplary manner. The number of infections, deceased and new infections is relatively low.
Austria has also been driven by the Corona eruption in the ski resort Ischgl, started much earlier with exit restrictions and shop closures than Germany.
In Austria the zigzag course is clearly communicated Robert Koch Institute, for example in the face mask, exists at Austria Health authorities don’t.
Chancellor Kurz and his excellent advisors embody great determination, decision-making power and clarity. Those who act so responsibly can gradually loosen restrictions again and slowly start up the economy again. That is exactly what it does Sebastian Kurz. “
Munich Mercury: “It is important to give people a perspective”
“The example Austria shows: The fight against that virus is to be won. But the way back to normal is long and arduous. After all: Smaller shops as well as DIY and garden centers will soon be able to open again, shopping centers and hairdressers are to follow on May 1st.
In Bavariathat closely follows the role model Austria oriented, it could happen with a little delay; Prime Minister Söder will have to explain this soon. It is important to overcome the standstill and to give people a perspective.
Politicians are not allowed, as in Hungarysuccumb to the frenzy of penetration; they should not be infected by the panic mood that the boss of the Robert Koch Institute with his warning of “Italian conditions” in Germany spread. “
Mitteldeutsche Zeitung: “Chancellor is a master of suggestion”
“In fact, the Austrian chancellor is above all a master of suggestion. With his performance he tries once more to make him forget that Austria not quickly, but very slowly on that virus had reacted: The lucrative ski circus in Ischgl you let it run first. The delay was then very violent.
The easing in Austria is now relative: schools, restaurants and hotels remain closed. It makes sense to develop exit strategies. It is good to combine maximum health protection with keeping the damage to society and the economy as low as possible.
But: Rarely is political competition and the conduct of competition as inappropriate as now. “
