How far the freedom of the Individual must be subordinated to the protection of the masses? That is the question currently on many people, with a view to the existing Corona protection measures. Although some restrictions have been loosened up already – most of the shops have opened again and Meeting up with friends are permitted. Other regulations, such as Wearing a mask when shopping, we are likely to see even longer.
The “Handelsblatt” said the Philosopher Richard David Precht on the Corona-policy of the Federal government. In April, he had said to the “Frankfurter Rundschau” you could make the government in the matter of Corona-dealing, no major allegations.
Precht to the Corona Shutdown: “Obviously, in Parts of an overreaction”
About two months later, the philosopher is shown much more critical compared To the “Handelsblatt” said Precht well, you overreacted in halting the Coronavirus “obvious Parts”.

The difference is: The Corona-measures related to the protection of the grandparents, the fight against climate change is the protection of our grandchildren.” Precht, had spoken out in the past, among other things, for a shift towards a more sustainable and responsible economies.

He had to admit that Bayern was affected by its geographical proximity to Austria, particularly from the Coronavirus.

two months ago we had shown Precht in an interview with the “Frankfurter Rundschau” disappointed by the Greens.

But there is far too little Concrete remains.” Precht describes the Green as “politically biggest disappointment of the whole disease”.
