German Chancellor Merkel Withdraws Her Cancelling Of Easter After Widespread Backlash

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has pulled the plug on harsh Covid-19 restrictions planned during the Easter holiday, after the decree caused an uproar among the public as well as within her own party.
quote:
In a video call on Wednesday, Merkel told state premiers that she was dropping the five-day lockdown, which would have closed all businesses, with supermarkets only permitted to operate for one day during the period.
quote:
The planned restrictions also prohibited private gatherings of more than five adults from two different households
quote:
The U-turn was applauded by many within her own Christian-Democratic political alliance. Bavarian premier Markus Soder said that he respected the chancellor’s change of heart, noting the legality of the restrictions had come under question.
quote:
The reversal comes after Merkel was barraged by criticism over the measures. The ban on church services was particularly controversial, with clergy and even Interior Minister Horst Seehofer, a longtime political ally, urging the chancellor to reconsider. Some state leaders had already announced that they would not abide by the rule. Saxony’s Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer said that his state would not prevent churches from holding in-person services.

She wanted to make sure they had proper funding for Ramadan.

Once you cede control of anything to the government, you don't ever get it back peacefully.

I thought she resigned.

Easter does not get canceled.

Can’t believe she caved in
But good for the citizens to show some stones and push back against the government

Is she no longer trusting the science?

I can't believe this East German Stasi Communist buffalo has been the Kancellor for 15 years.

They've sure come a long way from the days of the Holy Roman Empire...

Me either. I know a lot of today's krauts are cucked, but jeez louise she's the second worst Chancellor in German history. She would be the worst, but lucky for her, Hitler set the bar really, really high.

The thing not being discussed is that she’s attempted this . Something we never thought they would do they tried to do. They are gaging the world for full blown communism , eliminating your weapons , eliminating god , and state ran media . Make no mistake this was a test run.

Germans like their chancellors to be in power for a long time but I’m still surprised that she has managed to remain this long given the political dynamics.

It's very predictable. Women cave to perceived criticism without thinking of unintended consequences.

Caving in may be a key part of why she has lasted so long there.

Lasting long as a leader is not a good thing for individual freedom.
