Jens Spahn won't get rid of the mask affair anytime soon.
Hopefully, the fact that neither he nor Hubertus Heil commented on this in the Bundestag can be interpreted in such a way that the two ministers did not want to be incited against each other.
Now new allegations are being raised, which are linked to two questions: Why were non-certified masks first found to be good for infection protection by TÜV, among others, but then assessed as poor in some of the countries by the same institution?
And if the Ministry of Labor considered such so-called CPI masks to be unreliable, why did they end up in the Infection Protection Act only a few weeks ago (and with the consent of those who are now having trouble with Spahn)?
But not only does Spahn not get rid of this affair.
The list of construction sites where mistakes have been made is long.
How could it be otherwise?
The normality that is currently returning to Germany seems to make many forget what it was like a year ago.
At that time, complaints were made for months about the fact that there was still not enough available in large quantities, which has become a matter of course today - not to mention vaccination.
The errors have to be dealt with. To portray them as scandals is not just sensational. The method sins against decision-makers, whose plight no one speaks of today. That ends in a bad election campaign.
