Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz and Culture Minister Susanne Raab (both ÖVP) call on the population to refrain from visiting the cemetery together in view of the crown crisis on All Saints’ Day and Valentine’s Day. the dead people. Archbishop Franz Lackner shows understanding for this. Family celebrations this weekend are also discouraged on a broadcast.
Kurz and Raab express “a great understanding” that All Saints ‘Day and All Souls’ Day are important celebrations and that great sacrifices are currently being demanded of the people. Especially this year, the weekend has a special meaning for those who had not been able to say goodbye to family or friends in case of deaths during the first crown wave.
But unfortunately this year it is important, out of consideration for others and out of prudence for health and employment in Austria, to celebrate this festival in a different way than usual. Therefore, Raab appeals to visit graves only with those people with whom he lives in the same house. This concern was also discussed Tuesday in a conversation with Franz Lackner, president of the Austrian Episcopal Conference.
