The left parties welcome the decisions of the Federal Council. They are too hesitant for civil and commercial representatives.
PDF: The FDP finds it incomprehensible that the Federal Council does not allow restaurants and other businesses to open on March 1. This contradicts a demand from most cantons and the industry. Liberals see no signs of new openings as of March 22. The party therefore repeats its call for a clear coordinate system for the coming months, as it writes. The Federal Council offers little prospects for the medium term. However, the PDF welcomes the definition of indicators.
Greens and LPG: Both parties support the Federal Council’s cautious relaxation measures. The situation remains uncertain. It is important that the Federal Council open carefully and in individual steps. Otherwise, there is a risk of a yo-yo effect, the Greens said. However, they demand that the status of data on infection sites needs urgent massive improvement.
Do not: The initial steps provided are “in the right direction” for the medium. Taking into account the epidemiological situation, the Federal Council is clearly responsible for the speed at which the easing is responsible. The party welcomes the first substantial easing of the crown measures as of March 1. However, it is unfortunate that the Federal Council adheres to the 5-person rule indoors, which is not feasible for families, according to a statement.
SP: Social Democrats welcome the fact that the Federal Council is sticking to its “sensible course” and “planning scientifically based opening steps.” Together with the vaccination campaign, this relaxation strategy gives the population a perspective for spring and summer. Companies also received more planning security, writes SP Switzerland. Relieving it too quickly would undo the progress made in recent weeks. On the other hand, the financial aid that accompanied it remained unsatisfactory.
Please: The SVP has harshly criticized the Federal Council’s decision. It is an affront that the Federal Council does not open up faster. The population and companies would continue to be harassed. “The Federal Council remains stubborn and ignores the cantons and parliamentary committees,” said a statement from the SVP. Most cantons clearly wanted more extensive and faster openings than the Federal Council.
Cantons: Most of the cantons support the cautious and gradual easing of the measures to combat the Covid-19 pandemic that the Federal Council decided on Wednesday. However, the state government has failed to comply with the demand to open the dining rooms outdoors, writes the conference of health directors.
However, there are also clear criticisms from individual cantons, for example from Graubünden: the Graubünden government has difficulty recognizing positive signals from the Federal Council, said Government Councilor Peter Peyer. “We are on the right track in Graubünden. The Federal Council could have made braver decisions, ”he said. The previously open ski slopes in the canton would now be closed.
Economiesuisse: For the business union, the relaxation of the crown measures decided on March 1 is insufficient. With their hesitation, the government accepts long-term damages. Although the number of cases has dropped significantly in recent weeks and intensive care units are no longer at their limit, the Federal Council is taking important opening steps, the association writes in a message.
Gastronomy industry: One is “frustrated and bitterly disappointed,” Casimir Platzer, Gastrosuisse’s president, told the Keystone-SDA news agency. Of course, you don’t want a yo-yo effect or a third wave either, but in the current state the harm and benefit are disproportionate.
Trade association: The Swiss Trade Association (SGV) calls for the total opening of the economy and, therefore, the end of the blockade. The Federal Council ignores the results of the consultation and sticks to “its package of hesitant and nonconceptual measures,” the SGV writes in a message.
