Nothing stands in the way of the implementation of the new Corona measures. On Sunday night, the main committee gave its blessing to the second shutdown regulations that need parliamentary approval.
The resolution of the ordinance on the second blockade of the crown led to an unusual meeting of the main committee of the National Council on All Hallows’ Eve. “I cannot recall such a meeting taking place on November 1,” National Council President Wolfgang Sobotka (ÖVP) said after the two-hour session. The discussion was factual, but also timely.
Sobotka called for compliance with the new corona measures
Much has been illuminated from different angles, says Sobotka. Health Minister Rudolf Anschober (Greens) explained why decisions must be taken and explained “the need, proportionality and correctness of the regulation.” Containing the pandemic can only be successful if all Austrians get involved. The decision alone is not enough, the measures must also be internalized in the spirit, Sobotka appealed to the population to support the measures.
The regulation will be implemented “in record time”
Anschober himself was optimistic that this would allow the number of infections in Austria to first stabilize and then gradually decrease again. He noted that with today’s decision in the main committee, the regulation will be implemented “in record time.” And that is “absolutely necessary, because it is a race against time that the measures go into effect in time before the intensive care units in Austria are overloaded.”
SPÖ voted it with a coalition
The president of the ÖVP club August Wöginger (ÖVP) thanked the SPÖ for helping to decide on the regulation and was convinced that it would stand before the constitutional court. “The measures are proportionate and well founded. Rarely has such an experienced regulation been accompanied,” Wöginger said, referring to the 1,000 pages of factual reasons that accompany the regulation. “We have to act urgently. The ordinance is necessary, the interventions are necessary. We know that there are many chains of contagion in restaurants and tourism.” In addition, his house in the Innviertel hosts garage parties, gardens, baby showers and even booth weddings, says Wöginger.
The head of the Greens club, Sigrid Maurer, saw the regulation as “very well founded”. Therefore, it is not concerned that the Constitutional Court could revoke it. But he also made it clear that the Greens are anything but happy with the interventions and restrictions: “The whole regulation hurts us. We never wanted a second block. But we have no other option. There is no alternative.” It is proportionate and unfortunately necessary. “
NEOS rejects night out restrictions
SPÖ and NEOS reaffirmed their positions after the meeting. The director of the SPÖ club, Pamela Rendi-Wagner, warned that “the intensive care units and the health system are threatened with collapse in a week or two” and that therefore action must be taken. “We view some things with skepticism, but we have a responsibility and we take it seriously.”
The NEOS only refused to consent because they refused to restrict the night out, but would have agreed to many other measures.
“Mess”: FPÖ continues to reject the government’s crown policy
The FPÖ rejects all government action, as confirmed by the club’s vice president, Dagmar Belakowitsch, on Sunday night. The Health Minister had no idea and produced a complete blind flight. “The ÖVP and the Greens lock up the Austrians and half the country. Health Minister Anschober remains guilty of valid figures, facts and data on the basis of which the government justifies such coercive measures. Corona deniers slandered. That it’s a mess, “Belakowitsch said literally.
