Merkel apologises to the citizens: closing the Passover was a mistake, taking responsibility

I want to say it clearly. It's my mistake, it's mine alone. I'll take responsibility for everything”

Those unmarked words, Merkel told in the context of the huge failure of the total lockdown she had announced a few days earlier, following a long agreement with German regions.

The Chancellor followed by saying that “apologises to citizens, Easter break has been a mistake, had good reason to decide, but didn't come true in time”,

According to sources, the timetable was deemed insufficient to block the German economy, even though in just two days more than traditionally anticipated, and the pressures were such that the Chancellor was also forced to step down. From April 1st to April 5th, however, no flights from Germany to another country will be allowed.

Meanwhile, Merkel's government is increasingly at the target of criticism, not only for the low rate of the vaccine campaign, in a country increasingly tired of closing all activities such as bars, restaurants, theatres and other activities for months.

Several opposition exhibits have even asked the Chancellor to appear in Parliament to be cautious with the vote of confidence, but Merkel has flatly refused, at least at the moment.
