During an election campaign in Bergisch-Gladbach, Health Minister Jens Spahn wanted to speak to critics of his Corona policy. But the situation got worse.
According to a newspaper report, on Saturday during an election campaign in Bergisch-Gladbach, they spat on the federal Minister of Health, Jens Spahn. The CDU politician had confirmed this to the “Rheinische Post,” the newspaper reported in advance from its Monday issue.
Spahn was also insulted when trying to strike up a conversation with angry opponents of the crown measures. The minister told the newspaper that a conversation should be sought with those who are dissatisfied with the crown’s policy. The discussions were part of democracy. “It only works if both sides are willing to listen. But when there is yelling, spitting and intimidation, it just doesn’t work.”
The “Express” newspaper reported that Spahn was in the North Rhine-Westphalia district town on Saturday to support his party friend Christian Buchen in the election campaign for the mayor’s office.
Criticism of the Berlin demonstration on Saturday
Spahn criticized the Berlin rally against Corona measures on Saturday. “It was deeply unhappy and also unpatriotic not to wear masks, not to keep a distance and thus endanger others,” Spahn said of the “Stuttgarter Zeitung” and the “Stuttgarter Nachrichten” (Monday).
The resolution of the demonstrations “is not cause for joy” for Democrats. “But it is right for the police to intervene when too many protesters in Berlin apparently did not care about the freedom and health of their own fellow citizens.”
Tens of thousands of people had demonstrated in Berlin against state protection against the crown. In a large demonstration at the Victory Column, the initiator Michael Ballweg of the Stuttgart “lateral thinking” initiative demanded that all laws passed to protect against the virus be repealed immediately. The federal government must also resign as a whole, he said to great applause. Ballweg also thanked the Berlin police for making the peaceful protests possible. The Berlin authorities actually wanted to ban the gatherings, but they were subject to court.
