Now it’s about stopping the spread of the virus and associated development, the governor said. “It is correct to establish a consequent and shorter blockade so that we can achieve a strong reduction in the number of infections as quickly as possible and our health system or the capacity of beds in hospitals is not overloaded.”
SPÖ: “Blocking without common sense”
However, the reactions of opposition politicians in Salzburg have been critical. The chairman of the state party SPÖ, David Egger he described the announced measures as a “blockade without common sense.” The leader of the state party FPÖ, Marlene Svazek, warned of “enormous economic damage”, these were new attacks on business and civil liberties.
“Where there is hardly any risk of infection anyway, the federal government is exceeding the target. In critical facilities like nursing homes, where infection would be fatal, the government is doing very little,” Egger criticized. He called for a “differentiated blockade with common sense,” but the federal government is doing the opposite with its “total blockade” presented today.
Given the worrying number of patients in hospitals, it is necessary to toughen up where there is more contagion in the public sector, but: “I am afraid that some restrictions will only have bitter side effects for the economy, but nothing to combat the pandemic.” contribute, “Egger explained. The overnight house arrest did not help in France or in Austria.” Where hygiene measures go into effect and there is practically no infection anyway, the new restrictions and bans are nothing more than harassment. ” .
FPÖ: “Management without plans”
Svazek spoke of a “management without plans” of the turquoise green. “We have been dealing with Corona for eight months, since then there is still no health plan, which includes the expansion of capacities and framework conditions, as well as a reasonable relationship between responsibility and freedom.”
Economically, the second blockade will be devastating, said the leader of the liberal state party: “It is not only restaurants and hotels that are suffering terribly from spontaneous measures, although there is evidence that only a fraction of people are infected.” Svazek demanded full compensation for suppliers and factories directly related to the affected industries. “The second blockade will unleash an irreversible chain reaction,” the politician warned of “enormous economic damage.”
