Last night, via ARD's public forum show (9:45 PM)...Anne Will Show....the topic was the Corona policy.
Curiously, they had on four of the top people who are considered the chief candidates for Chancellor in the fall (Soder-CSU/CDU, Lindner- FDP, Baerbock-Greens, and Scholz-SPD).
This chatter mostly went to the alternate ideas being circulated and the suggestion that the Merkel-program (whatever is being done)....has finally crapped out. Both Soder and Scholz had to defend the current program to some degree. Lindner and Baerbock went on the offensive side.
What you can generally say is that this open forum really didn't achieve much but make the point that patience and understanding among regular working-Germans has reached some peak.
The demand that a number of these ban rules end in early March? There's enormous pressure building up in individual states now, and it doesn't matter how Merkel or the federal crew feel....the states have control of the ban rules.
Baerbock (Greens) and Lidner (FDP) getting traction for their parties? I would suggest over the next week....polling will indicate both going up a point or two, and the SPD/CSU-CDU folks going down a point or two. Baerbock....is fairly sharp on wit and was ready for the chat-forum.
As for the public getting anything out of this one-hour chat forum? No. The Covid-19 policy is a pieced-together situation, with a thousand moving parts, and logic is often lacking. It doesn't matter who is explaining it....it just stumbles along.
