WELT AM SONNTAG:

We are currently working through the toll debacle and the vaccine problem.

Do you think anyone will ever admit mistakes in this?

Stefan Aust:

No, that no longer happens at these levels because a system of transferring responsibility has been established.

The EU, the companies, the administrations - in this network it is always easier for the individual politician to conceal his personal mistakes.

We see this pattern with the topics mentioned, but also with a view to the corona measures overall.

Whether they work or not, whether their consequential damage is greater than the benefit, none of this has any more feedback to those who made the decision.

It used to be said that we are badly governed but well administered.

Now maybe both are bad, but by the way, this does not only apply to politics, but also to many large companies.

WELT AM SONNTAG:

Could it be that politicians resigned earlier because of fewer?

Aust:

Yes, because at that time there was stronger opposition in the parliaments, but also in the media.

What happened had to be analyzed more clearly, now everything is becoming blurred and this is accompanied by an erosion process of responsibility.

If one politician does not resign for good reasons, neither will the next.

WELT AM SONNTAG:

What do you expect from a vaccination summit as it should take place on Monday?

Aust:

This is a crisis meeting where the aim will be to recapture your own mistakes without making it look like that.

We all have to hope very much that this will still succeed - in order to then also talk about easing.

We have to look at who dies at what age and what, conversely, can still be demanded from society.
