Germany wants to close all international flights. The failure of the Commission and its covid-19 policy is evident

27 January 20213 years ago babelfish

As AFP announces, Germany is considering the possibility of almost completely halting international flights to the country to slow the spread of more infectious strains of the coronavirus, Interior Minister Horst Seehofer said yesterday.

"The danger from numerous mutations in the virus forces us to consider drastic measures," Seehofer told the Bild newspaper.

"This includes significantly stricter border controls, especially at the borders of high-risk areas, but also the near-zero reduction of air travel to Germany, as Israel is currently doing," he added. Chancellor Angela Merkel, addressing a meeting of parliamentarians from her party, the CDU / CSU, said citizens have the right to expect the government to take "some precautions at the borders." The request for a negative test at the Czech border is already creating very long queues for cross-border commuters who go to work in Germany.

This is nothing but the tangible total failure of the European Commission's policies, from those relating to common rules for mobility to vaccination. An external body, unprepared, at the mercy of the lobbies, cannot be entrusted with the care of the immediate and emergency health interests of European countries. As we wanted to demonstrate, all this has turned into a colossal failure that endangers the health, but also the economy of the countries of the Union.

Let's speak clearly: all other countries will follow Germany. The Netherlands has imposed such strict restrictions on boarding KLM flights as to make it almost impossible, with a certified quick test to be carried out 4 hours before departure, even with early morning flights. Other countries will adapt, but then who will pay for the divestment of the European air transport industry? Who will pay for the tourism industry? The Von Der Leyen?
