Cologne (dpa / lnw) - The Deputy Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia Joachim Stamp (FDP) calls for entry controls to curb the spread of dangerous coronavirus variants.

"I do not think it is responsible if we do not carry out appropriate controls here and restrict or close daycare centers and schools on the other hand," said the head of the NRW-FDP on Saturday at a digital state party conference in Cologne.

In India, the infection numbers were just "through the roof," said Stamp.

Nevertheless, nothing happens in Germany when it comes to entry controls.

"I would like that the alleged" Security Team "of the CSU - in this case Mr. Seehofer and Mr. Scheuer - would take on this matter differently," said Stamp with regard to the Federal Minister of the Interior and Transport.

The 50-year-old NRW family minister wanted to stand for re-election as party leader of the largest German FDP state association, which he has led since November 2017.
