Munich (dpa (lby)) - Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder has criticized his deputy Hubert Aiwanger (Free Voters) for his demand for the opening of ski lifts and hotels from February. Without naming his name, the CSU chief took up his economics minister's demand of his speech at the digital CSU New Year's reception and made it clear that the debate came at an inopportune time for him. The current Corona measures would initially apply until mid-February, what comes after that remains to be seen. Unfortunately, there are always politicians who are happy explained, «when what will be opened for sure».

These are also the politicians who previously said Corona is not dangerous and there will never be a second wave, Söder emphasized, alluding to statements by Aiwanger in recent months.

Söder also mentioned Aiwanger's statements about an Oktoberfest in the pandemic and the opening of shops before Christmas.

"My urgent advice is that we should do what is necessary," said Söder.

In order not to damage people's trust, it is important that politicians want the right thing and do the right thing.

Aiwanger called on Friday in Munich to reopen the hotels and ski lifts in February.

Together, the economics ministers should “also demand these opening steps at federal level” and not “wait like rabbits in front of the queue again for what comes from Ms. Merkel and the Prime Minister's Conference in Berlin,” said Aiwanger on Friday in Munich.
