A week ago, Merkel had already asked citizens to help in a dramatic appeal. The video message generated many reactions. A week later, the pandemic situation got even worse, Merkel said. And also: “I know, actually one hopes that politicians continue to invent new words. For me, what I told you last week still applies word for word (…) And so the podcast of last Saturday” said the Chancellor, before last week’s speech is replayed.
Also in this, Merkel called for contacts outside the family to be significantly reduced and asked to refrain from trips and celebrations that “are not really necessary.” “Please stay home whenever possible.”
Last week’s video podcast drew criticism. Opposition politicians had asked Merkel to issue an appeal as part of a government statement that the video podcast format was not suitable for this. On Friday, the federal government announced that Merkel would also take a position on the current situation of the pandemic in a speech to the Bundestag next Thursday.
