PAccording to a recent Forsa poll, Ether Tschentscher (SPD), Daniel Günther (CDU), Markus Söder (CSU) are the most popular prime ministers in the Corona crisis. His approval ratings are impressive at 75, 74 and 72 percent, significantly higher than at the start of the pandemic. His colleagues were also able to increase his values.
Even the rear light Michael Müller (SPD) from Berlin increased significantly. 49 percent means a 22-point plus compared to pre-crown times. In this regard, the 16 heads of state government have reason to be self-confident. You will find it useful in the next few weeks. Mostly because they don’t agree with each other either.
With the step-by-step plan adopted on Wednesday night for the gradual lifting of the partial closure in force since November, most of the heads of government willing to open it prevailed against the chancellor, who called for a more restrictive course.
The exit of incident number 35 as a prerequisite for any opening step does not only mean a “change of perspective” in the fight against the pandemic, as the Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Armin Laschet (CDU) said on Thursday. .

The almost staggeringly wide opening frame setting of 50 to 100 infected people per 100,000 population in seven days, as measured by the ideas of the most rigorous virologists, also poses considerable risk to previously undisputed heads of government:
You must now do everything you can to ensure that at the end of this long-awaited and now determined opening phase, you do not have to pull the nationwide “emergency brake” that Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) has made a prerequisite for. your consent to the change of perspective. That would be a disclosure oath for federally organized crown policy. Therefore, prime ministers are at risk.
“87 percent experience gradual improvement”
In a marathon meeting, the federal and state governments agreed to relax the crown. Prime Minister Söder will brief you here on how they will be implemented in Bavaria.
Stephan Weil (SPD), head of government of Lower Saxony, feels it first-hand on the first day after the prime minister’s decision. A positive corona case will be identified at your state chancery on Thursday. Because of this, on the advice of the responsible health department, Weil must go into quarantine next Monday. The press conference in which he wanted to explain his approval of the opening plans and their precise implementation in his state has been canceled on short notice. He is one of those prime ministers who on Wednesday decided in favor of relaxing and against sticking to the strict incidence of 35 as a condition for any further opening steps.
Daniel Günther (CDU) is one of them. The Schleswig-Holstein Prime Minister was the first head of government to be very determined in favor of a step-by-step plan as a way out of lockdown. Three weeks ago he already had the corresponding ideas in his luggage. Now it is there. But even Günther can point out this Thursday in the Kiel state parliament that he is not one hundred percent sure of his cause.
The Christian Democrat has announced that as of March 8, Schleswig-Holstein will take all the opening steps that the state can take due to its seven-day incidence, which is just under 50, according to the decision of the Prime Minister’s Conference . At the same time, the head of state urgently warns the inhabitants of Schleswig-Holstein not to feel safe.
The opening of measures did not mean that the country was “out of danger.” Rather, one is in a “not easy phase” in which the retail sector in particular has to justify the “high level of confidence” shown by this opening plan.
Tschentscher is skeptical of the opening plan
Otherwise, Günther would also get into considerable trouble with his Hamburg neighbor: First Mayor Peter Tschentscher (SPD) left no doubt on Thursday that he was extremely skeptical about the relaxation plans as a whole, but especially about the way Schleswig-Holstein is coping. with these new opportunities. “I would have preferred 35,” Tschentscher frankly admits. “It would have been safer to go through the initial steps later.”
Hamburg, where the seven-day incidence is just under 77, will not open retail stores on March 8, unlike Schleswig-Holstein, but will only allow a “Click and Meet” procedure. Tschentscher now has to hope that “people don’t go out” to go shopping in Kiel or Lübeck, for example.
Two other prime ministers who, like Tschentscher, had called for a very strict pandemic course in the past, also communicated otherwise the day after the federal-state round and in this way showed how insecure the crown situation is despite or precisely because of the situation. The opening plan remains: while Bavarian Prime Minister Söder announced in an orderly tone “gradual improvements for 87 percent of Bavaria’s citizens” because 76 of its districts and cities had fallen below incidence of 100, the Prime Minister of the Saar, Tobias Hans) gave the warning and the warning.
In a video message, the 43-year-old went directly to his population to tell them bluntly: In reality, the initial agreed step is for him from an incidence of “too high”; if one is taking a “risk”, he would have preferred an incidence limit of 35 as the limit.
Hans spoke of “long-term damage” and “severe disease progression” that cannot yet be ruled out. However, it implements the agreed measures just like its Bavarian counterpart, yes, even more so:
The Saar is even a little further on. As in Rhineland-Palatinate, retailers have been able to receive customers again since Monday by registering in advance and revealing their contact details. Bavaria and most other federal states, on the other hand, will not allow “Click and Meet” date purchases until next week.
The different tonality is likely to be the result of the fundamental balance that each politician currently has to make with himself and that Hessian Prime Minister Volker Bouffier (CDU) candidly explained in his press conference.
Prime Minister Bouffier announces concrete steps for Hessen
After the Hessian Crown Cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Volker Bouffier (CDU) reported on the recently decided measures. See the press conference in Wiesbaden here.
The numbers are increasing, according to Bouffier, and “normally it would never occur to us to think of moderation in such a development.” But at the same time there was a wide discussion about ways to get back to normal. “There is a dilemma between growing numbers and enormous pressure of expectations.”
And that, the message, you lean, but just a little. The 16 prime ministers will have to bear the consequences, whether positive or negative, together.
