After Carinthia’s Peter Kaiser (SPÖ) and Salzburg’s Wilfried Haslauer (ÖVP), the third governor counted the controversial general corona vaccination within a day. Hans Peter Doskozil (SPÖ), who had expressed skepticism in the past, followed up on Wednesday: the federal government was acting “haphazardly” and had to “finally present a clear strategy”.
The federal government has maneuvered itself into a dead end in the implementation of the vaccination law and is acting completely without a plan, Burgenland’s governor Hans Peter Doskozil repeats his criticism. In the last few weeks he has pointed out several times that the compulsory vaccination law in the form designed by the federal government will not be administrable. However, these objections were wiped off the table. “The fact that prominent ÖVP voices such as Salzburg’s governor Haslauer are now in favor of suspending compulsory vaccination only shows how muddled the cart is already. It is high time that the federal government put a comprehensible and transparent strategy for the coming months on the table. The fact that decisions and assessments change from day to day within the governing parties is not reasonable for the population.” “The federal government shifts responsibility” The current handling of the exemption from vaccination by the Ministry of Health is symptomatic of the muddled situation: “The federal states have repeatedly demanded that there must be a nationwide regulation of this question. Now it turns out that a nationwide online portal cannot be completed before the end of April. Instead, the federal government shifts the responsibility to the federal states and lets them make the submissions themselves.” After the failed vaccination fleet, this shows once again that the federal government is making political announcements without taking the necessary organizational precautions. “With a professional pandemic Management has nothing to do with this. Unfortunately, this also massively damages the population’s trust in the federal government’s crisis strategy. It must be clear to everyone: We need the highest possible vaccination rate, because that is the key to getting out of the pandemic – and the trust of the population is crucial,” said Doskozil. Previously – as reported – Salzburg’s governor Wilfried Haslauer had also spoken for the first time (ÖVP) clearly in favor of at least suspending the obligation to vaccinate – from March 15th, when the punishment would begin. Carinthia’s governor Peter Kaiser also moved away from compulsory vaccination in the “Krone”. This should be examined for its proportionality. There was harsh criticism of Health Minister Wolfgang Mückstein (Greens): “He does not meet his obligations. A lot is getting out of hand. ”Vienna’s City Councilor for Health Peter Hacker (SPÖ) recently drove in the exact opposite direction, who said: “You shouldn’t trigger democratic processes, make decisions, and then we’ll start discussing all over again. That’s a lovely Austrian quality, but I don’t think it gets us any further.”
