Lockdown: criticism of disagreement – salzburg.ORF.at
politics
The corona infection numbers are going through the roof, the Salzburg state clinics are preparing for triage, but Governor Wilfried Haslauer (ÖVP) wants to avoid a general lockdown at all costs – even if the green coalition partner demands him. Sharp criticism of this disagreement comes from the opposition.
SPÖ state party leader David Egger speaks of a catastrophic communication in the Salzburg state government, which can no longer be overlooked: “The coalition partners mutually align their proposals and forget that nobody knows their way around. The summer was overslept, nothing was prepared and now you are standing there. Instead of arguing, sensible measures are now necessary. Implement a small, efficient crisis team and what is then discussed point by point. “
FPÖ: “reactivate self-tests”
It would be good if the ÖVP and the Greens did not contradict each other permanently, says the state party leader of the Freedom Party, Marlene Svazek. For them, a lockdown is out of the question: “If you want to be on the safe side, 1 G must apply – tested for everyone, both vaccinated and non-vaccinated. We are also calling for an antibody study in order to know specifically who is already immune in the population. As a third measure, we consider it necessary that the self-tests are reactivated. On the one hand as a relief for the laboratories and on the other hand so that you can check very quickly and easily whether you are infected or not. “
NEOS tried to calm down
The small, third coalition partner NEOS tries to calm down. NEOS country spokeswoman Andrea Klambauer: “That is the top priority. Because we in the state government have agreed on a plan of measures that will initially ensure care in the Salzburg hospitals. ”Anything beyond these measures is the responsibility of each individual, according to Klambauer.
