“Green Politician Janosch Dahmen Warning About Possible Issues with Corona Commission in Parliament”

Status: 04:19 a.m | Reading time: 2 minutes

Dhe health policy spokesman for the Greens in the Bundestag, Janosch Dahmen, is skeptical about calls from the FDP for a commission of inquiry to review the corona policy. A commission of inquiry is associated with a great deal of effort, bureaucracy and costs, said Dahmen of the “Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung”. There is a danger “that in the end it will be more of a struggle for interpretation sovereignty and subsequent blame, and thus further public trust will be lost,” said the Green politician.

At the beginning of March, the FDP parliamentary group in the Bundestag called for such an inquiry commission in Parliament in a position paper. The deputy FDP chairman Wolfgang Kubicki told the “NOZ”: “We are in very constructive talks with our coalition partners, of whom I do not know why they are actually resisting a commission of inquiry. We absolutely need them as a society.” Politicians must clearly name the mistakes they have made. This is the only way to bring society back together.

Dahmen criticized: “During the pandemic, Wolfgang Kubicki repeatedly took extreme positions and tried to talk about a social split with rhetoric that was partly close to the AfD. I don’t have the imagination to believe that he of all people is interested in a serious forward-looking work-up.”

A commission of inquiry is a parliamentary body with MPs and external experts that prepares legislative decisions on large complexes.

Federal Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach (SPD) had shown himself open to such a commission, which the Union had also spoken out in favor of. Their health policy spokesman Tino Sorge (CDU) told the “NOZ”: “We have to work that out. I think it is a very important signal that we want to learn from the decisions made during the pandemic.” An inquiry or a federal-state commission would be suitable for this. The traffic light must take the initiative.
