“Shopping trick”
In the Health Ministry there now seems to be a desire to undermine the level of governor. With a paragraph that allows regional differentiations for national measures. For example, the mask requirement: the government issues a national mask requirement, but can exclude all districts where this should not apply.
In Upper Austria this is known as the “corner trick”. Stelzer: “With the legion of centralists that have existed in Vienna for decades, I am very surprised that no one has thought of that before. Because everyone who has said so far that the federal states have too many powers could have long ago tapped into many other areas in this way. I’m very curious to see if that really works. “
The expert believes the criticism is understandable
University professor of federalism Peter Bußjäger from Innsbruck can “understand these concerns of Governor Stelzer.” He is surprised that the ministry is planning a regulation that provides for regional differentiation.
Bußjäger: “Then the question arises why state governors have the authority to issue regulations when the minister can also do so.”
The health department of the city of Vienna continues to react calmly. It will be interesting to see what Minister Rudolf Anschober will announce on Friday. In any case, it is currently acting without a legal basis because the Covid-19 package of measures must first be decided by the National Council.
