Now you can say, at least Bavaria is testing at all the holiday returnees who come to the country. In this direction, the inlet of the Minister-President of Bavaria, Markus Söder went on Monday on a hastily arranged press conference in his home city of Nuremberg. He suggested that other provinces involved in this "service" for the country. At the latest since Wednesday has turned but the Wind. With criticism and blatant malice other States, and other parties are now looking at Bayern and, in particular, Söder.

"Blatant government

Ralf Stegner, SPD politician from Schleswig-Holstein, failure," tweeted: "Glaring failure of the super corona matadors Söder at the corona tests in Bavaria. Those who take the mouth so full, should not be surprised about nationwide ridicule.“ Ludwig Hartmann, leader of the Bavarian Green party, spoke of "blatant government failure". The parliamentary leader of the SPD in the Landtag of Rhineland-Palatinate Alexander Schweitzer, commented on the fact that Söder was not in attendance on Wednesday, as a Huml was the extent of the delays to the public: "And when the glitches are to explain, the Minister in front of the press. That to me is a Hero, the Mr Söder.“

But the Bavarian Red cross (BRK), which was filled in with thousands of volunteers as helpers, to ensure the Tests at all, there is upset, whether of feeling, now to get the Black Peter for the glitches slipped. On Wednesday evening, it rejected "accusations or innuendo", "the suggest that the auxiliaries have (at least partial)blame for this problem. In addition, the BRK regrets that, as a result, the extremely short-term and diaphoretic use of volunteers of all Bavarian aid organizations in a negative light is moved.“

Söder wanted to go Hiking this Thursday actually, with the schleswig-Holstein Minister-President Daniel Günther in watts. With the politicians, so, at whose mention still have rolled two years ago, many in the CSU the eyes, because he represented in the refugee policy in very different positions than they themselves, and on cooperation with the left party thought. The date should be a further stage on the path of reinvention Söders – and by the way, to show that he understands the move is also in the North of the Republic to be safe.

Söder know what can result in beautiful pictures, in the Positive or in the Negative. Watts Hiking, while the home burns the hut? On Wednesday evening, Söder said that the errors were in the test centres of "very, very annoying". "This needs to be fixed and should not happen anymore. All structures are to be checked promptly.“ Unfortunately he had to cancel, therefore, the visit to the North sea. The Check of the structures is also him self with? Söder has already shown that he's a learning System – and yet not so right out of his skin. On the Latter, the last sentence of his tweet indicates: "Bavaria is going on."
