Berlin (dpa) - Thuringia's Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow (left) reacted skeptically to the proposal by NRW Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU) to decide on a "bridge lockdown" in an early federal-state round this week.

"As prime ministers, we are welcome to meet at any time, but something has to be on the table beforehand, which we then really decide together and, above all, all implement," he told the "Spiegel".

"The current requests to speak are again patchwork and characterized by hectic pace."

The co-chair of the Left, Janine Wissler, also criticized Laschet.

"It is irresponsible that the numbers have soared that so many are sick and the intensive care units are full," she told the "Spiegel".

«Laschet has been partying for days.

Whether his proposals are based on insight or because he lost the power struggle against the Chancellor is an open question.

With this crisis management one is definitely afraid and anxious. "
