European corona proof extended, right? ‘Cabinet plays with citizens’ confidence’
The House is on edge when a draft by MP Pieter Omtzigt was adopted a few weeks ago, ordering the cabinet not to take any steps until they have been approved by the House.
No permission
In a briefing to the House, Kuipers writes that no irreversible steps will be taken without the House having started. And that, according to Omtzigt, is the rub: “That is villainous, because not taking irreversible steps is different than informing the House in advance about what they want to do and only continuing after a debate in the House. And that is what my adopted motion demands. “
He points out that the word ‘know’ only informs, not questions. “I’ll even tell you I’ll set your house on fire and then you’ll be treated. But you didn’t give permission.”
That stings Omtzigt. Want to plan for the corona obligations before 1 July in the plans. By agreeing in a European context to allow these measures to last for another year, people who do not have a booster shot within Europe, for example, cannot simply go abroad this summer.
booster shot
“That goes for almost half of the population,” says Omtzigt. Also points out that the Health Council does not recommend young people aged 12 to 18 years.
That is very ugly. It is bizarre that in many countries the measures are scaled down and we are maintaining the vaccination requirements for travelers,” says Omtzigt.
According to him, this is the world upside down and shows that the corona ticket is unnecessary and only hinders travel. So the cabinet should not focus on support, he says, but rather seek support from European countries that do not see this being set up either.
Blocking Minority
“Now that a country like France is over just like Spain, Poland, Sweden, Denmark and Ireland, and almost nowhere asks for a corona pass, such an attacking minority is coming into view.” Omtzigt ‘the cabinet is playing with the confidence of the citizens’ because the plans have a major impact on them. “If you want to lose confidence, this is a good way.”
On Wednesday and Thursday, the House will debate the European corona proof. Then it must become clear that the House will force the cabinet to take a different path.
