Senior and care homesCSV and ADR welcome new measures, Pirates remain critical

RTL Today
According to MP Fred Keup from the Alternative Democratic Reform Party, the new recommendations only came about because the opposition put pressure on the government coalition.

Similarly, MP Claude Wiseler from the Christian Social People’s Party laments that it took such a long time for these important amendments to be made.

MP Sven Clement from the Pirate Party on the other hand remains critical of the new measures, stating that they still lack the binding character needed to avoid different interpretations.

When it comes to the question of administering booster shots to people over the age of 75, all three opposition parties agree that it should be done if scientific evidence supports the measure. However, MP Clement noted that he has not yet seen a scientific analysis of the situation from the government.

Back in July, opposition parties demanded that Minister for Family Affairs and Integration Corinne Cahen step down for failing to meet her responsibilities and protect the residents of senior and care homes. Now that new recommendations have been issued, CSV’s Claude Wiseler believes the matter to be concluded. ADR and the Pirates on the other hand still believe that the DP politician is responsible for earlier deaths in those facilities.
