WORLD:
Mr. Spelthahn, you would like to keep secondary schools closed - but the state does not allow you to.
How do people react to that?
Spelthahn:
You
're
really between hammer and anvil.
When we applied to close the schools by Easter, I was also the target of a very strong shit storm.
I was accused of a lack of empathy for children.
The NRW school minister, on the other hand, gets the shit storm from the other side - so how you do it is wrong.
WORLD:
Have you ever experienced such a polarization in the past few years?
