The designated FDP General Secretary Bijan Djir-Sarai called for an end to all corona measures within five weeks before the federal-state meeting planned for Wednesday. "We must show the people of our country that an end to the measures restricting freedom is imminent", said Djir-Sarai on Monday in Berlin after a meeting of the party bodies. The timetable must be based on comprehensible criteria and noticeably relieve people in everyday life. "In a further step, all measures should have been taken by March 20th. I have already expressly said that I think it is absolutely wrong to extend the current regulations"said Djir-Sarai.
There are many regulations that must be withdrawn now. The 2G rule in retail has already been abolished in almost all federal states. that be "well and good, but not enough". Further steps would have to follow.
"I am thinking in particular of contact tracing and contact restrictions for vaccinated people. The hotel industry and culture must also benefit from noticeable opening steps", said Djir-Sarai. If the situation deteriorates, Parliament can immediately decide on protective measures. "This also applies to a possible extension of the mask requirement. There is therefore absolutely no justification for leaving any restrictions on freedom in force as a preventive measure for a situation that may never arise", he criticized. (dpa)
