Corona and the Infection Protection Act

Considerable legal and factual objections were raised against the amendment to the Infection Protection Act and the curfews contained therein. The CDU / CSU and SPD in the German Bundestag have decided on it anyway. We Free Democrats believe that the pandemic can be fought without disproportionate interference with fundamental rights. That is why we advocate the protection of fundamental rights with a complaint to the Federal Constitutional Court.

The Free Democrats criticize the decisions of the latest vaccination summit as disappointing. Germany needs practicable solutions to speed up the vaccination process and get out of lockdown as quickly as possible.

Economic output in Germany fell sharply in the first quarter of 2021. We call for greater efforts for a powerful economic recovery after the crisis.

We need a re-establishment of our country

The attitude that the German state can and regulates everything has been eroded by the pandemic, Christian Lindner analyzes the current situation. "If we look at the situation in our country, then we have to recognize the lie that we would live in an orderly and well-organized community." There are enormous deficits in the digitization of the state and in education and Germany's competitiveness has declined massively. At the same time, the power of freedom is far too underestimated. Personal responsibility, inventiveness and entrepreneurship should experience a renaissance, according to Lindner: "We need a re-establishment of our country."
