The deputy FDP chairman Wolfgang Kubicki accuses the federal government of breaking his word because of the extended lockdown.

“People feel locked up and the Chancellor and the ministers have broken their promise to present a plan that will give people back the ability to plan their lives.

This republic cannot stand it for long, ”he said in a podcast published on Friday with CDU politician Wolfgang Bosbach and chef Christian Rach.

Kubicki expressed criticism of the new incidence value of 35: “The fact that 50 no longer plays a role where we are approaching it drives me to despair.

Either it had a meaning or it was just intended as a placebo.

After 16 years of reign, the Chancellor is not a monarch either.

The Infection Protection Act also applies to them. "

The Bundestag Vice-President warns of the consequences of the lockdown: "Either we will return to a certain normality of life or this society will collapse internally and be completely different!"

In an interview, the FDP politician admitted that the lockdown was not quite as bad for those of the more than 30 million people who received their income from the state at the end of the month as it was for the self-employed and traders.

Kubicki reported: “Every day I get desperate calls and letters, including suicide announcements, because people have the feeling that they are being put off from week to week.

I have incredible compassion for those who stand in front of the ruins of their life's work. "

He was particularly disappointed by the Federal Economics Minister: “Peter Altmaier is a complete failure in the role of Federal Economics Minister.” He accused the Minister of not knowing how the economy works and how much equity and savings entrepreneurs and self-employed people have.

On Thursday, Kubicki had accused the Federal Chancellor and the Prime Minister of the federal states of "openly breaking the law".

FDP leader Christian Lindner also sharply criticized the extension of the lockdown.

Kubicki's conversation with Bosbach and Rach is part of the weekly series “Bosbach & Rach - The Week Testers” for the “Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger”.
