With a large-scale Internet campaign, German actors such as Jan Josef Liefers, Ulrich Tukur or Volker Bruch criticized the federal government's corona policy - an action that attracted a great deal of attention.

The videos were quickly criticized.

The well-known musician Igor Levit wrote on Twitter: “The bluntest weapon against the pandemic, against a still far too high number of people who are dying, against bad politics, lack of help, etc.: Bad, narrow-minded shrinking sarcasm that is ultimately just bland Is cynicism that doesn't help anyone.

Only divides. ”And received more than 6,000 likes for it.

The well-known actor Elyas M'Barek (“Fack ju Göhte”) was one of the first to distance himself.

Under an Instagram video by Volker Bruch (“Babylon Berlin”) he wrote: “Come on, that's nonsense.

What are you submitting to our government?

I can understand zero.

Everyone wants to get back to normal and that will happen.

When everyone ensures that a global PANDEMIC is fought.

Cynicism doesn't help anyone ”.

On Twitter, he also retweeted the tweet from the Green politician Jan Philipp Albrecht: “That well-known actors actually believe that the media are in line in Germany, the pandemic is just scare-offs, people are all manipulated and the federal government alone decides on corona rules, DAS is a shrill alarm signal for our democracy. "

The SPD politician and WDR broadcaster Garrelt Duin called on Twitter that the public broadcasters had to end their cooperation with actors like Liefers and Tukur.

"Is it getting boring in the country house?"

Actress Nora Tschirner (“Tatort”) criticized the privileged position of the mostly well-paid and prominent actors on Instagram: “Really yes, Leude?

What's going on?

"Make cynicism great again"?

Or what?

Is it getting boring in the loft and the Brandenburg country house?

Now dare to go out and have a nice cup of tea, because otherwise you would have to take care of your own emotional management? "She suspected:" It may be that you will be a little ashamed in a few years (weeks).

Unfucking. "

Christian Ulmen, her “Tatort” colleague, felt ashamed of the action: “Today I am a little ashamed of colleagues.

#make it all simple, "he wrote.

As a backlash, some tweeted the term #Allesschlichtmachen on Twitter, criticizing the actors for not giving any suggestions as to what should be done differently.

Heike Makatsch, one of the actresses who actually took part in the #Allesdichtmachen campaign, withdrew her engagement on Friday morning and wrote on Instagram: “I clearly distance myself from right-wing ideas and right-wing ideologies.

Always.

Without question.

I recognize the danger posed by the corona pandemic and never want to lessen the suffering of the victims and their relatives and possibly injure them as a result.

If that happened, I ask for your forgiveness. ”Makatsch also withdrew her video.

In her explanation of why she had the video deleted, Makatsch continues: “I chose the path through art and satire to show the changes in our society and to create space for a critical discourse.

(...) If I have played into the hands of right-wing demagogues, I deeply regret it. "

“Tatort” actor Hans-Jochen Wagner was also angry.

He reacted to the Instagram video of fellow actor Pasquale Aleardi (“Inspector Dupin”): “What kind of stupid action is that?

At the moment?

(...) What did you ride there?

Why now?

Who are you speaking for?

Hardly for yourself ... “, he writes.
