“We must eliminate restrictions”: the German minister wants an end to covid obligations and restrictions

This opening takes place on the eve of the new meeting of the Federal Council of Ministers on Wednesday which is also expected to decide on this matter. Christian Lindner is campaigning for rapid reopening "The healthcare system is tackling the Omicron wave and there is no threat of structural overload," says the FDP leader. "Therefore, the widespread invasions of our freedom are no longer proportionate."

In the fields of education, commerce, gastronomy, culture, sport and business, "a significant step towards normality" must be taken. The 2G rules should be “repealed immediately” and replaced by wearing FFP2 masks. Contact restrictions for vaccinated and recovered patients should be eliminated. There should no longer be any restrictions for people on the outside. “We need to start the process now and normalize life step by step,” says Lindner.

Germany, a federal country, seems to have had a non-uniform attitude towards covid, precisely because each Land has had a different attitude. However, now there is a great desire for a return to normalcy and many regional leaders, including the Bavarian Söder, are calling for "the beginning of the end" of the covid emergency and that this happen before the next federal Land-state meeting.

Only in Italy, tomorrow, thousands of workers will lose their jobs due to an insipid vaccination obligation that makes us practically unique in Europe.
