The opposition harshly criticizes the new Corona measures, which will take effect on Sunday.
The regulation, which was published Thursday night, includes new rules for gastronomy and events. Face visors are also prohibited. Also after curfew 50 meters around the local alcohol ban. Contrary to what was announced, the new measures will not apply until midnight on Sunday.
Since the publication was slow to arrive, there is more time for implementation, Health Minister Rudolf Anschober (Greens) said at a press conference on Friday. The first draft was ready on Monday. This was sent to the ÖVP federal states by email. However, it turned out that some questions were still open, so Anschober, which is why the constitutional service and “outside lawyers” also intervened.
“The chaos continues”
The opposition harshly criticizes the government’s actions. SPÖ leader Pamela Rendi-Wagner spoke of “show politics”. Next time, the government should put the relevant regulation text on the table at the same time as its press conference. So the “chaos” of the last few weeks would continue.
SPÖ club deputy director Jörg Leichtfried did not think it was good for federal states with a state government led by the ÖVP to receive information in advance. “While the federal states governed by the ÖVP receive the corresponding draft days before the publication of an ordinance and can present their political wishes, the Crown Commission does not get to see the ordinance before it is issued, although this is expressly provided in the law, “so Leichtfried.
FPÖ: “Irresponsibility in its purest form”
The FPÖ also criticized the measures and saw them as a “chaos of ordinances and traffic lights”. According to Herbert Kickl, a state of emergency was brought about, and he also spoke of “irresponsibility in its purest form.” People would become insecure from “a confusion of rules,” Kickl teased. “It doesn’t take a prophet to know that the government will also ban Austrians at Christmas, that didn’t even exist in wartime,” said the club president FPÖ.
On NEOS, health spokesman Gerald Loacker spoke of an “embarrassment to the Corona regulation.”
