Magdeburg (dpa / sa) - The FDP top candidate for the state elections, Lydia Hüskens, has asked the federal government to allow regional differences in future corona policy.
"The individual measures will always have a strong regional reference," said Hüskens on the sidelines of the FDP party conference on Saturday of the German press agency.
"With all the chaos that the Prime Minister and the Chancellor have caused in the last few weeks and months, I believe that such a blanket approach for the Republic does not do justice to the different local conditions."
The background to this are plans by the federal government to enact the new corona rules in the coming week not as before through agreements in the Prime Minister's Conference (MPK), but through the Federal Infection Protection Act.
The government wants to enforce more uniform rules in Germany.
"I think it is basically right to do this by law, so the parliaments come into play," said Hüskens.
For months, the FDP and the Left have been calling for corona policy to be determined in parliaments and not bypassing them by ordinance.
The law in the form planned now leaves the federal government too much leeway.
The Bundestag and Bundesrat would have to "write down in the law which measures should be taken," demanded the Liberals.
"Right now it's a blank check."
