Alice Weidel, March 3, 2021, Corona Lockdown

AfD Kompakt, March 3, 2021

These decisions are a disdain for the citizens who increasingly have enough of the unplanned and useless lockdown policy of the Federal government and the States. Of a “prospect of getting out” nothing can be said in view of this confusing and incomprehensible heaping up of arbitrary rules, value numbers and conditions pulled out of a hat.

For most of the firms in the retail and restaurant trades and for the service providers, the decisions mean further weeks of insecurity which many of them will not survive. Warm words and periodically repeated empty promises cannot compensate the daily increasing losses of the businessmen and self-employed who stand with their backs to the wall and in many cases have consumed the last of their savings and reserves. Tourism, hotels, the exhibition business and culture again fall through the grate. The prolongation of the enforced standstill will mean the death blow for many firms and establishments.

While Merkel’s round of wheeling and dealing further locks down the constitution and the citizens in a cage of proscriptions and prohibitions, she also evidently ever still ignores the taboo theme now voiced by RKI [Robert Koch Institute] chief Wiehler of the high proportion of migrants among the Covid intensive care patients. It is not acceptable that the citizens endlessly assume collective liability for the Federal government’s failures and denial of reality, yet are to look away when certain ethnic groups simply refuse to obey the rules and appeals.
