SPD parliamentary group leader Rolf Mützenich has accused the Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder of inappropriate self-portrayal in the Corona crisis.
"I am surprised how theatrical and self-loving the Bavarian Prime Minister appeared again after the Prime Minister's Conference," said Mützenich of the Düsseldorf "Rheinische Post" (Friday).
He pointed out that Bavaria has one of the highest numbers of infections in Germany.
Söder's constant demands on the federal government and his proposals in the Corona crisis did not change anything.
"I strongly advise him to take more care of things in his state, instead of contradicting the joint decisions and fabulous nationwide measures," said Mützenich.
The federal and state governments agreed on Wednesday evening to extend the current partial lockdown until January 10th.
Söder then raised the question of whether stricter measures were not necessary.
"The question is whether we can keep the country in this kind of half-sleep the whole time or whether we shouldn't at some point have to think about going deeper in some places very clearly and consistently," said the CSU chief.
Söder himself is considering tightening the contact restrictions - including on New Year's Eve.

Mützenich emphasized that now it is a matter of getting through the crisis healthily, economically and socially.
"And I am convinced that we can do that over the entire length of the Corona crisis," said the SPD politician.
“Of course we're looking at what economic aid will be needed in the coming months.
This also requires an agreement on state aid with the EU Commission, ”he added.
