Merkel apologizes | The paper

The mistake is mine and mine alone, I take full responsibility for it and apologize to the citizens for the confusion and uncertainty that this mistake has caused. Twice Angela Merkel she apologized for introducing a so-called “hard” lockdown for the Easter break: too little notice, too many restrictions, it can’t be done. Behind the lucid (and perhaps only) admission of the German Chancellor there are very insistent pressures both from the governors – the meetings with the Länder have become a torment – and from the opposition parties, which in the Bundestag have supported the need for a vote of confidence on the government, and on the part of the polls that in recent weeks have registered a steady decline against the executive and Merkel’s party, the CDU.
