Corona conflict in the district council: Protest by AfD and Free Saxony!

Meißen, Deutschland - in the Meißen district council there was an scandal when an application for the comprehensive review of the Corona years was deducted by the so-called cartel parties by majority decision. According to Compact Online was not even coordinated via the agenda item. In response to this, the members of the AfD and Freie Saxony left the session to protest the procedure perceived as an undemocratic approach.

The AfD parliamentary group called for the creation of a counseling center for victims of Corona vaccination. Supported by an amendment to the Free Saxony, which aimed at a legal consolidation of the main application, the district council should have made a trend -setting decision. But even the BSW faction did not disagree with stopping the agenda item. From the point of view of AfD district councilor Jana Witschetzky, this was a clear violation of democratic processes.

political responsibility and public discourse

The debate about the processing of Corona policy is also becoming increasingly pressing on the scientific side. According to doctors for individual vaccination decision show that between the scientific knowledge of the Robert Koch Institute and political action during the panda there was significant discrepancy. These findings state that the risks of SARS-COV-2 may have been overestimated for many population groups. Nevertheless, politics fueled fear and imposed measures such as Lockdowns and vaccination obligations without sufficient evidence -based reasons.

dishes that were based on the statements of the RKI and the Paul Ehrlich Institute led to questionable judgments, while critical voices too often the “conspiracy theorist” label was attached in public discourse. In addition, the need for a clear distinction between on and with Corona was never addressed.

social division and personal experiences

The social tensions that were created during pandemic can be put into numbers. An analysis shows that almost every second German (46 percent) experienced serious disagreements because of the Corona measures. Especially between different age groups, the differences grew, for example with regard to the obligation to vaccinate. According to Tagesschau the discourse on Corona policy is not only a political, but also a generational discussion.

An intensive nurse named Laura, who initially remained unvaccinated, felt the pressure to be vaccinated, which she now regrets. These personal stories are reflected in a broader social tendency, in which 25 percent of those surveyed who had disagreements even experienced contact breakdowns due to differing perspective.

The need for a comprehensive review of Corona policy is becoming increasingly clear, since many people still have to live with the long-term consequences of the measures. Political decision -makers are required to act transparently and to the evidence in order to regain the trust of the citizens.
