SPD scandal: Lauterbach's deception-German politics in the crisis!

The revelations around the so-called "D-Day" paper let the republic shake back! The German political landscape trembles and of all people the SPD is at the center of the storm of indignation. What is considered a moral role model is now confronted with severe allegations. At the forefront: SPD parliamentary group leader Rolf Mützenich, who places high moral demands on other parties in public. But what about the moral budget of the SPD itself? The answer is hidden in a explosive email traffic between the Ministry of Health and the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), analyzed by the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" and the WDR. These messages show how Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach allegedly continued to raise the alarm despite falling threat. According to the Focus report , the scientific advice was ignored, while other countries such as Denmark and Norway have long been planning loosening.

Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach insisted that the risk assessment on a fatal plague was to be lowered, despite the pleading appeals of the scientists, to downgrade the hazard. Why? As if he had guessed that with the relaxation of the pandemic, his political star is also falling. A health minister just needs a pandemic like a fish. Unsurprisingly, the relief of the pandemic measures with a decline in public interest to Lauterbach's person.

turn in the courtroom: the power of the judicial

While the political elite would prefer to put the pandemic, the judiciary does not give up. In a sensational case in front of the Lower Saxony Higher Administrative Court, notice were contested for refused vaccinations - the occasion? The explosive RKI protocols that bring another truth to the effectiveness of the vaccinations. These protocols show that vaccination was able to prevent serious disease courses, but did not completely prevent the infection. A judge who reprimanded not only state politics, but also the Federal Constitutional Court.

With the processing of these pandemic errors, there is still a lot to do. The question arises whether the dishes have been determined enough against the excess of state power. Should judges act earlier to address excessive pandemic measures? This discussion is conducted with emotional allegations on the part of all participants, including judges Neuhäuser, who could be sent to the RKI documents.

criticism and controversy: A bitter aftertaste remains

The feeling remains that fundamental freedoms were abandoned too quickly during the lockdowns and the pandemic. From the commercial to freedom of movement- a lot that of course seemed to us was suspended. This incision in our fundamental rights throws shadows on the political and legal assessment of pandemic policy.

Even if the fundamental data protection rights remained untouched, this protectionism often wore bizarre features-as in the case of the Corona Warn app, the functioning of which is priority, while other freedoms were restricted. It remains exciting whether politics is drawing consequences and which teachings from this dramatic chapter will be transferred to the future pandeme control. In this context, "Bild" unfortunately no further direct reporting was offered, but controversy about science and politics demand answers. Facebook contains the discussions Call up determined action.
