SEDAN. “It is my mistake, only mine. In the end, by virtue of my role, I am the one who assumes the ultimate responsibility for everything ”. Angela Merkel went to the press for a short but explosive statement. A mea culpa never seen. Without the squeeze of Holy Week, the chancellor said: “I apologize to the public, the ‘Easter break’ was a mistake, there were good reasons to decide but in such a short time it was not feasible”. The unprecedented April 1-5 lockdown decided by Merkel with the governors just two days ago, after a twelve-hour brawl, will not happen.
Merkel hinted that it was too complicated to add two days of rest, it was not clear if they should be considered as days of celebration. But the opposite occurs after a new storm that hit the government after the news of a new total freeze in public life. For the rest, the chancellor maintains the idea that the priority should be to break the third wave of the pandemic, now almost entirely attributable “to the British variant, more contagious and deadly.”
