She is not satisfied. What’s more, it is very emotional. The federal-state summit between Angela Merkel (CDU) and the Prime Minister was one thing above all for the Chancellor: a gossip.
But what do you say about that one day after the meeting?
Merkel is unhappy. He could have imagined more at Monday’s conference, he said at the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” economic summit in the morning. Sometimes decisions are made too slowly. He regrets it, also because it ends up costing more money.
“If you act earlier, you can get out of the restrictions more quickly,” Merkel explained.
In the future, therefore, it will be necessary to act more quickly as soon as an exponential growth in the number of infections is announced, even if intensive care units are not yet as loaded.
“I will continue to be the impatient party in this matter,” assured the chancellor. “And I am happy for every support I receive.”
Merkel also explained why, in recent weeks, she has often been more emotional and closer to people than is known in public.
The corona pandemic is a “challenge of the century for the entire world and for each individual,” he said. The virus leads people to something inhuman: to keep their distance. “This is why I have to talk to people differently,” Merkel said.
Long-term measures should arrive next week
The chancellor and the country’s leaders want to determine the long-term approach to the pandemic on Wednesday of next week. Current restrictions apply until the end of November.
At the same time, the Chancellor promises to provide more aid to the German economy. In the winter months, the federal government will do everything in its power to help companies “that are actually healthy” but were hit by the pandemic through no fault of their own.
They expect the German economy to experience a “strong growth streak” after the current year’s recession 2021. During the pandemic, the federal government not only gave companies a “bridging boost” but also a boost to innovation, the chancellor said.
