Cologne (dpa) - The head of the left parliamentary group, Dietmar Bartsch, has criticized the move by NRW Prime Minister Armin Laschet.

There is no need for new suggestions or “new vocabulary” all the time, said Bartsch on Wednesday in “Morgenecho” on WDR5.

The CDU chairman Laschet had called for a "bridge lockdown" - a two to three week hard lockdown in the fight against the third corona wave.

This should bridge the time until many people are vaccinated.

According to Bartsch, there is currently a “jumble” of “obscure rules, incomprehensible decisions and ever new suggestions.

"People can no longer."

For a longer-term perspective, he called for a broad social dialogue in which not only politics, doctors and virologists but also educators and psychologists should be involved.
