Austria opens its borders to all neighbouring countries. Just not to Italy. If the has only the of Vienna to the field-run health-policy reasons, may be doubted. A comment by mercury editor-in-chief George Anastasiadis.
In Vienna it is in the Corona-the year of few opportunities, with the left-wing government in Rome to create: First, the conservative Chancellor made Short without warning, the border to Italy seal, he made himself the mouthpiece of the “Thrifty Four” against the Roman financial wishes, and now he opens all borders to Austria’s neighboring countries – just not the to Italy.
The justification sounds a little specious: in the South of the burner, there is still a lot of new Corona cases of infection. Really? In fact, brutal to be concerned, Italy is not one of the to the beginning of the epidemic to Europe’s most Lockdown hardness now account for more new infections than Germany. German, however, are in the tourism country, Austria, welcome back, and contrary to earlier pronouncements, even now. Apparently, in Europe, the night got underway curious race to affluent vacationers, it has also triggered in the Vienna Chancellery, a frenzy of activity.
It is difficult, in the decision, that Austrians can now travel freely to anywhere, just not to the neighbouring South Tyrol, to see something other than an unfriendly act against the southern neighbor wants to snatch the tourists. For a country that has self-answer with Ischgl the Corona scandal par excellence, is not the fine art. Such self-interest does not do well by the corona-crisis-wounded Europe. After all: Bavarian travellers, it moves to Bolzano or to lake Garda, allow Austrian border guards in the Transit. But only grudgingly, as one may assume.
