Exemplary mandataries – only a few unvaccinated MPs in the state parliament

Vaccination is playing an increasingly important role in the pandemic. In Burgenland, almost all members of the state parliament are already immunized, but there are also exceptions.

Vaccination is a private matter, but the clubs were willing to provide an overview of their mandate when asked. In the SPÖ club, all MPs and employees are already immunized. In addition, tests are carried out before meetings and appointments. At the Greens, everyone has already received their sting, and two people have also recovered. Employees and MPs are vaccinated, says ÖVP club chairman Markus Ulram.FPÖ club boss is still hesitating Ilse Benkö and Alexander Petschnig are immunized at the Freedom Party. Club chairman Johann Tschürtz, however, is still skeptical. He knows cases that did not do well after a vaccination. Tschürtz refers to online reports on side effects and allegedly low protective effects. In view of the impending compulsory vaccination, he will probably still get vaccinated in the near future. Although he has already suffered an illness, due to a change in a federal regulation, he is no longer considered to have recovered. Molnár believes that he is not against vaccination per se. However, data from other countries would show that those who have recovered do not pose a risk. The vaccination requirement is more than “disproportionate”. It makes more sense to concentrate on risk groups, believes the politician. 3 G currently applies to sessions of the state parliament, with the clubs monitoring compliance on their own responsibility.
