Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) - North Rhine-Westphalia's Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU) has appealed to the participants in Corona demos to also think about the Covid 19 patients in the intensive care units.
«Everyone can demonstrate what they want for.
But you also have to say to everyone who demonstrates (...): In the second you are speaking, think of those who are perhaps a few meters away in a hospital fighting for their lives, that is also important, "said Laschet on Thursday in the state parliament in a declaration on the federal-state corona resolutions.
In this context, Laschet criticized the statements of a woman who compared herself to the resistance fighter against National Socialism, Sophie Scholl, last Saturday in a "lateral thinking" demonstration against the Corona measures in Hanover. Scholl was sentenced to death by the Nazi regime in 1943 and executed at the age of 21. "Something must have gone wrong in history class when a 22-year-old says she is Sophie Scholl, that's unbelievable," said Laschet.
