It's not all black!
It is time to say it again: We are finally seeing progress in the vaccination strategy, in delivery management and in the number of expected vaccine doses. But also in protecting the population. A comment.

The CDU is holding Germany hostage
It's just incredible. Not only is this unspeakable corona pandemic keeping Germany in suspense, but also the CDU. How the Union keeps the media landscape and citizens in suspense. A comment.
Act at last!
Angela Merkel wants to bundle more competencies in the Chancellery with all her might and is receiving praise and recognition for this, also from a population that has apparently forgotten how to think for itself and act independently. A comment.
Learned nothing in a year
Germany flying blind! The data on new corona infections and 7-day incidence are falling - everyone knows that the numbers are wrong. Politicians and the RKI have learned nothing. A comment
Brake a little, that's all
The “Saarland model” starts on Tuesday with a few changes. These were necessary. The most important point remains: the person. A comment.
Right idea - dangerous time
The Saarland is emancipating itself. With the decision to relax after Easter, the state government is taking a dangerous path. The population has to go along with it, otherwise the project will crash crashing. A comment.
This decision deserves respect
Chancellor Angela Merkel and then Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder apologize for the mistake of having implemented a nightly backroom deal for Easter. A gesture that deserves respect. A comment
The unsuspecting group has spoken
In a mammoth meeting, the federal and state governments decided on the next hammer lockdown. Or to put it another way: The group of the haphazard met for the cheerful Ringelrein. If this round of misery showed only one thing, it is that it is absolutely obsolete and incapable of acting. A comment.
Risk management for the garbage can
It is amazing! After a few countries panicked over the AstraZeneca vaccine, the federal government allowed itself to be infected again by the "panic virus". This could have devastating consequences. A comment.
CDU clap: disaster with announcement
The CDU is experiencing a pitch-black election evening and is clearly losing approval in the state elections in Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Württemberg. For the first time, it is possible to form a government without the CDU. That must have consequences.
Can Sputnik V save Merkel?
The Russian corona vaccine Sputnik V has been in the rolling review process of the European Medicines Agency for a few days. Can this vaccine save Merkel's devastating corona balance sheet?
How the Saar Prime Minister changed his mind
The Saarland accepts the decision of the Higher Administrative Court without taking legal action. The statement by Saarland's Prime Minister Tobias Hans, who wanted “wide-area” openings, was surprising. This statement is surprising. A comment.
No tax money for greedy politicians!
It's incomprehensible and outrageous. In the greatest crisis since the Second World War, greedy politicians from the Bundestag have nothing better to do than enrich themselves personally. Even after leaving the parliamentary group, Bundestag and party, the tax money continues to flow! We demand: NO tax money for politicians who are being ripped off.
Epidemic situation prolonged - opposition has no chance!
On March 4.3th, the German Bundestag voted on the epidemic situation of national importance. The vote was shockingly sobering and reveals that the opposition has been signed off.
Comment: These resolutions should not make us happy
The prime ministers of the federal states and the Federal Chancellery fight for nine hours over a strategy for the corona crisis. At the same time, the resolution shows the real problem facing this government. Terrifying: Instead of 14 days, there was now “lockdowntime” right up to the end of the month.
Column: Finally get into the push!
It is simply unbelievable: Germany is in lockdown, vaccines are available, but the vaccination does not work, back and forth. “Come on in the push”, we demand in our column.
Farewell to 35 - How the Chancellor pushed the blame away
Once again there is a major summit for prime ministers and the chancellery. An exit strategy from the lockdown should finally be discussed there. But the federal states are already mutinous against Chancellor Merkel. The Chancellor, on the other hand, could once again score a great victory - because she fooled the Prime Ministers at the last MP conference. A comment.
Column: This government is begging for a replacement
Too hesitant. Too slack. Too minimalistic. Too weak. These stamps could be written on the flags of the German Federal Government, but also the European Commission. One column.
No more glossing over the vaccination disaster!
At the end of January, high-ranking federal politicians tried to sell the vaccination disaster as a success. This needs to end now. A comment.
Thanks to incorrect data: a factual interference with fundamental rights would be a shame!
In the corona pandemic, one can and must admit some mistakes to those responsible. However, a curiosity now causes incomprehension that a district should be put on the "corona leash" due to factually "incorrect data" in the RKI Covid 19 dashboard. A comment.
Madness has a name - Donald Trump
The images of January 6, 2021, when fanatical, incited Trump supporters invaded the American Parliament, will be deeply rooted in the presidency of Donald Trump. Because only hours beforehand he incited her at a rally. At least one woman had to die because of it. A comment.
Comment: Don't overdo it!
Before today's federal-state meeting, discussions have so far only focused on extending the lockdown and other restrictions. More and more often it seems to be irrelevant which collateral damage this causes. We think: don't overdo it. A comment on the developments.
Capital mistakes - devastating corona policy ensures new lockdown
Germany is "closing again". As of Wednesday, the country will be in the second lockdown, at least until January 10 - and longer unless the incidence is 50 or lower. Much is going wrong in the pandemic in Germany - and no. Germany is just not the Corona world champion. A comment.
Covid-19 in Saarland: the situation is stable, please less alarmism
Covid-19, commonly known as the coronavirus, is not spreading excessively in Saarland. This is a good sign. Nevertheless, the Saarland Prime Minister continues to warn vehemently. An opinion.
Vacation madness of the federal government
This failure was announced! The question is slowly being asked whether the federal government has become addicted to the corona madness. Instead of a sensible solution to the legitimate returnee issue, the country is split up and “vacationers” and “stayers at home” incited against each other.
