Michael Kretschmer: “There is a point where appeals are no longer enough”
The crown pandemic also plays a role in the Saxon state parliament. The state government is considering the latest decisions and is considering further adjustment. Follow Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer’s speech here.
Saxony Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer defended the crown’s measures in the state parliament. Germany and Saxony no longer had the situation under control, he said, then made a special request to citizens.
reThe federal state of Saxony has adapted its crown rules to national closure. Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU) has now defended this in the state parliament. Germany and Saxony no longer have the pandemic situation under control. “Everybody has to stick to the rules consistently,” he demanded. That is important for everyone’s future. Otherwise, there would be no relief in the near future and one would have to “stay in this situation for months, not weeks.” The exit restrictions for open stores, nurseries and schools would not have worked.
You do not have the impression that all citizens have internalized the pandemic situation. You should not live with the motto “Nothing will happen to us.” All persons leaving the home should wear mouth and nose protection. “We are very alarmed that the number of infections continues to increase.”
Scientists have found that the states of Saxony and Thuringia currently lead in internal mobility in a nationwide comparison. “That is pure poison,” Kretschmer said. Therefore, do not rule out tightening. The situation is “extremely tense”. Many doctors, nurses, and office workers are on the brink of exhaustion.
At the end of his speech he came to talk about Christmas and the history of Holy Night. It should be understood as a stimulus, said the CDU politician. Jesus and Mary were also alone. “The Holy Spirit is everywhere, no matter how lonely we are.”
Until now, attending Christmas services has been allowed with restrictions under strict Corona rules.
However, Kretschmer made a special request: “I don’t go to church. Don’t go to church at Christmas either. ” As a Christian, he was convinced: “We don’t need a beautiful church, the sacred space.” You should only leave the house to go shopping.
