also, her father Christoph Blocher (79) has criticized the Federal Council is keen for the Corona-crisis management. Because the Federal Council would not admit that Switzerland had not stored enough protective masks, office of the Federal Council for the protection of the masks in question. A “white lie”, the SVP-Father in an interview with the “Handelszeitung”.
Now SVP national councillor and Ems-Boss Magdalena Martullo-Blocher (50) has sharply criticized the Swiss government. The “Sunday newspaper” said Martullo-Blocher, that she wanted to open shops and Restaurants, much earlier than the Federal Council. Every death is tragic, but that he could “not be avoided completely”. But the tremendous economic damage “may be even bigger”.
Himself referred to the politician and entrepreneur as a Corona-specialist: “With my experience and contacts, I am a Corona-specialist to become” the is not convinced that scenarios like in the North of Italy or New York in Switzerland are possible. And even “if we would re-connect the wide, you could grab a” Yes “to the closure”.
paternalism by the Federal Council
you don’t see a risk to the economy quickly up and running again. A return to rising infection numbers “would be then as it is now. If it works, we avoid wage losses, unemployment and bankruptcies.”
Martullo-Blocher sees in the current Corona-policy even signs of a patronizing state: “The Federal Council need to stop wanting to each to say exactly what he has to do. This leads to nonsensical rules, and a strong delay.”
in Particular, flower shops, hardware stores, book stores, or hair salons would open immediately. Such as grocery stores, these droplet systems are rules set up to Observe from a distance.
advocate of protective masks
Regarding hairdressers in not receiving compensation from the Federal government and the special protective measures need, it has to cost develop their own protection concept. You want to supply the industry with 600’000 protection masks. Also, only half of the chairs should be with the hairdresser is busy, but barbers would have to urgently be back to work again. “The margins are small and the wages low,” says Martullo-Blocher. “Because it goes quickly for Survival, for business and pleasure.”
Like her father, and the daughter shows no understanding of the non-protective mask recommendation of the Federal Council: masks were worn in many industries and are specified on droplet transfer and tested. “1.4 billion Chinese have made the application”, so Martullo-Blocher.
In the epidemic act have provided Federal councillor Alain Berset (48) masks for the protection of the population. The Duty was, however, built never. Until today, creating the Federal no masks for the economy or the population. Because there is hardly any Cargo flights, had to fly the Federal masks in Switzerland.
Massive Economic losses
they have urged the population, during the March Session to keep their Distance, as if it had been thrown because of the wearing of a protective mask from the national Council. “The caused a worldwide stir,” so Martullo-Blocher. “A Youtube movie with this scene has been watched over 180 million Times.” In the meantime, the Federal Council rooms Berset, mask would not be prohibited to wear. In many European countries, however, it is the duty of.
Around the crisis prevent, have called for the SVP in the beginning of February, border controls, so that only healthy people should enter the country. Because of the free movement of persons and the pending limitation initiative that had been shot down. Therefore, the cross-border commuters-the cantons of Ticino, Geneva, Vaud, Valais, and Basel were most affected by Corona.
On the question of whether it is not a contradiction to throb as early Warnerin before the Virus is already on a rapid easing of the measures, counters Martullo-Blocher, the infection and death figures decline and the health care system can cope with the Situation: “We need to return to normality. Per month, we lose 15 billion to the gross national product. The state cannot replace the economy. Wage losses, unemployment, bankruptcies and social conflicts are the consequences.”
Dramatic Seco-alarm
The economic damage could be even greater. The state Secretariat for economic Affairs Seco according to the Martullo-Blocher of 50 percent of the workers in short-time work and a possible rise in unemployment to seven per cent.
We can go further “with distance, hygiene measures and the protection of groups at risk of life”. “Every death is tragic, you can’t avoid for sure. We have been limited during the last three weeks, all very strong.” Particularly sensitive risk groups must continue to be rigorously protected. “The others have to work again and can move on.” (kes)
