“Bold”, worrying “,” a diversionary maneuver “: politicians cross party lines against attacks by CSU leader Markus Söder and his general secretary Markus Blume on other parties. Politicians from all parties Opposition members represented in the state parliament rejected the statements of the two CSU politicians and urged parliaments to have a voice in the fight against the crown and the restrictions associated with fundamental rights.
Söder asks for more support
Söder had previously complained about the lack of political unity in the fight against Corona. There was much more political support for the protection measures in the spring than there is now, he said on the sidelines of today’s CSU board meeting in Nuremberg. This makes dealing with the “second wave” more difficult. Not only the AfD, but also other political forces tried every day to “relativize” the measures. Above all, the FDP must consider whether its course, “which it has now imposed together with the AfD, is really the right one for the country.”
The fight against Corona is not a matter of political party, but requires a large amount of “political-democratic community”, Söder stressed. “Because the motivation of the population is stronger when they feel that there is uniformity and that the political parties also have a clear model to follow.”
Blume: PDF partly as “free radicals”
CSU Secretary General Blume added that democratic control was important, but had to go hand in hand with democratic common sense. “Anyone who plays down now will make things worse in two to three weeks.” That is why everyone has to weigh their words. He was very concerned about the development of the FDP. The Free Democrats now remember “sadly free radicals.” The CSU hopes that the FDP will “recover” and “not fish in the dark.”
FDP: “Söder is personally responsible”
The reaction followed immediately. “Blaming the opposition for the increase in the number of the crown is bold, especially in view of the fact that the Bavarian state government has been ruling by ordinances for seven months and has left the parliament completely out,” tweeted the leader of the FDP parliamentary group, Martin Hagen. The FDP will not let the CSU get away with this “diversionary maneuver.” “Söder is personally responsible, both for the test breakdowns and the fact that health authorities are still understaffed and overwhelmed with follow-up contacts.”
The head of country of the FDP, Daniel Föst, expressed himself in a similar way. “The state government has disconnected the parliament, the courts are collecting one illegal offer after another. Instead of governing properly, they are looking for the culprit,” he criticized. FDP chief Christian Lindner was also shocked by the statements made by the CSU chief. He asked via Twitter: “What did Corona’s policy towards Markus Söder that is bringing the FDP closer to the AfD because we want to keep parliaments involved in the usurpation of fundamental rights and we want to see justified the effectiveness of the measures? ”
The Vice President of the Bundestag, Wolfgang Kubicki (FDP), spoke even more clearly. He told the “Saarbrücker Zeitung” that Söder was responsible for the worst crown numbers and now he had to beat others to be able to distract himself from his miserable management. Söder is a “sad figure”.
Green: don’t point your finger at others
The leader of the parliamentary group of the Bavarian Greens, Ludwig Hartmann, asked Söder to fully concentrate on his work and not to point at others. “This mimimi of a head of government does not fit the times at all. Now doers are needed, not mimosas,” he told BR.
Green Bundestag member Dieter Janecek gave Söder a bad crown balance for Bavaria. “It’s not trustworthy, see the hosting ban, taste the chaos,” Janecek said via Twitter. Furthermore, “a new sow passes through the village every day”, while Bavaria is also “the number 1 access point”. He also tweeted: “And now equate all critics with the AfD. If something is fundamentally wrong in the Free State.”
The leader of the AfD parliamentary group in the state parliament, Katrin Ebner-Steiner, criticized that Prime Minister Söder ruled “210 days after the state parliament.” The entire opposition must become aware of its urgent task of exposing a policy that has sown a climate of fear, insecurity and mistrust.
SPD: It is up to the opposition to criticize
The leader of the Bavarian SPD parliamentary group, Horst Arnold, also finds Söder’s criticism of the attitude of other parties towards some anti-crown measures incomprehensible. It is the task of the opposition “to exercise criticism accordingly,” Arnold emphasized when asked about the BR. He also referred to “a series of court decisions since the spring” that have reviewed some decisions of the state government.
The general secretary of the Bavarian SPD, Uli Grötsch, warned that parliaments across the country must now send a clear message that only representatives of the people would have the legitimacy to decide on far-reaching measures. “Parliaments must be included in advance! It is time for parliaments!” In recent weeks, the Bavarian Greens had repeatedly called for the state parliament to be more closely involved in decisions, so far without success.
