Germany’s explosive rebound of the epidemic may take the blame for the government handover
CCTV News Client News In recent days, the epidemic situation in Germany has continued to rebound. On the 11th, there were more than 50,000 confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in a single day. The medical system was overloaded and was close to collapse. Headquarters reporters visited the streets of Berlin and observed that although restaurants, cinemas, clubs, museums and other public places have resumed operations, people seem to be not prepared for the epidemic.
Some analysts pointed out that the German epidemic rebounded sharply, on the one hand due to the increased transmission of the delta strain and the adverse effects of the climate brought about by the advent of winter. The power vacuum that emerged during the handover of the old and new governments also brought extremely negative effects.

It is reported that Merkel has officially stepped down as Chancellor of Germany, and currently only handles daily affairs as a caretaker Chancellor, but does not make long-term decisions so as not to affect the operation of the next government.
The analysis pointed out that Scholtz, the candidate of the German Social Democratic Party’s chancellor, currently tends to hand over the issue of the epidemic to the parliamentary group and local states of the “traffic light” united by the Social Democratic Party, the Green Party, and the Liberal Democratic Party. Since they come from different parties, neither Merkel nor Schultz regards the prevention and control of the epidemic as a top priority, and has not spoken publicly on this, so this is the situation: the old ruling coalition party (by the CDU and CSU) Formation) asked “Where are the Schultz people”, and the new ruling party coalition asked Merkel “how do you stand by and watch”. As the situation becomes more serious, the two sides may take action in the near future to deal with the spreading epidemic. (Headquarters reporter Li Changhao)
