Politicians should issue apologies following the Coronavirus year, according to Söder's statement
In an interview with the weekly newspaper "Die Zeit," Markus Söder, the Minister-President of Bavaria and leader of the Christian Social Union (CSU), expressed a belief that politicians should apologize for the impact of the Corona measures implemented in 2020. During the interview, Söder stated that every politician should apologize for putting citizens through an "incredible amount" this year. However, the interview did not specify the exact nature of the "incredible amount" citizens were put through or the specific decisions Söder was referring to. Söder's comments suggest a sense of regret or remorse about the impact of the Corona measures on citizens. Interestingly, these comments contrast with his previous statement that no one should apologize. It is important to note that officially, the political decision-makers of the German federal government in 2020, including Chancellor Angela Merkel and relevant ministers, are responsible for the Corona policy decisions. If deemed necessary, it would be these individuals who would acknowledge or apologize for these decisions. There is no record of any formal apology mandated, but accountability lies with the government members in charge during that period. The interview was conducted regarding the Corona year 2020 and the decisions made by politicians. When asked who should apologize, Söder replied that no one should. The reason for the change in Söder's stance on apologies was not discussed in the interview. Söder's comments have sparked debate and discussion about the role of politicians in the response to the Corona pandemic and the impact of the measures on citizens. As the situation continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how this discussion develops and whether other political leaders follow Söder's call for apologies.
