“On Monday I have my close staff, along with Lieutenant Governor Anton Lang (SPÖ, note) to discuss this. Yes, there are also free spaces and streets etc where it makes sense and what makes sense, Styria is a big country, you will not need it in an area, but with large crowds no one will be hurt when they have to wear the mask, even when open air, “said Schützenhöfer.
For mandatory vaccination next year
According to Schützenhöfer, there is also a mandatory vaccination to debate: “I would be in favor of mandatory vaccination next year. When it comes to health, I always say: health is not everything. But without health everything is nothing. And if it takes precedence, then you have to force some to be happy. If the doctors agree that this vaccine has no sequelae, this vaccine makes sense. ” In any case, massive testing should continue in Styria in January.
Criticism, especially of mandatory vaccination, came immediately from the FPÖ. The president of the federal party, Norbert Hofer, said in a broadcast: “A vaccine is not a gamble. It is an interference with the physical integrity of a person. The decision to vaccinate or not someone depends on each individual.” The club’s president, Hermann Kickl, accused the ÖVP of “continuing to turn the screw of escalation in the direction of the dictatorship of the Crown.” Styrian FPÖ club president Mario Kunasek called the move “completely unacceptable”.
Graz City Councilor for Health Robert Krotzer (KPÖ) also expressed his rejection of mandatory vaccination. Vaccination will go a long way in the fight against the pandemic, but the debate over mandatory vaccination is “a grain of sand for radical opponents of vaccination.”
