Opposition responds critically to corona pressco | Inland

“The cabinet is not in order. Insufficient testing, no contact investigation and too few healthcare workers. Denial of the aerogenic spread of the virus is counterproductive ”, PVV leader Geert Wilders already tweeted during the press conference of Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Minister Hugo de Jonge (Public Health) on Monday. “But the most important thing now is that care remains accessible to everyone, regardless of the complaint.”

The SP is critical of the voluntary duty of masks in the retail trade in the three major cities. “The way in which shopkeepers are now responsible for wearing face masks is a symbol of the fight against viruses in this cabinet: let others get the coal out of the fire,” responds SP leader Lilian Marijnissen. “That does not help. Make a clear strategy with uniform agreements. ”

GL foreman Jesse Klaver agrees: “Leave the duty of masking to shopkeepers? Provide clarity with a clear guideline for use of mouth masks throughout the country. ”

The coalition parties especially emphasize that the new measures are annoying, but necessary. “This is a bummer, but it is necessary to prevent intensive care from being full and to prevent us from ending up in lockdown again,” said D66 party chairman Rob Jetten. Coalition partner CU supports the approach. Party leader Gert-Jan Segers: “For many of us it is regrettable that our freedom of movement is being restricted again, but it is good for all of us that the cabinet is trying to prevent such a lockdown.”

CDA party chairman Pieter Heerma calls on everyone to adhere to the new measures “so that we can prevent worse together.”
