Oliver Krischer is the Greens deputy head and the third German party in negotiations for a coalition government — the Social Democrats Free Democrats, Greens — plans to tighten restrictions on those who are not vaccinated, according to Oliver Krischer.

(Bloomberg) — Germany’s incoming chancellor threw his support behind mandatory Covid-19 vaccinations as European leaders take a tougher line in a bid to check a brutal surge in infections.

According to one person who was present at the conference, Olaf Scholz stated to Angela Merkel, outgoing Chancellor, and to state premier that he supports a wide requirement for shots. 

After German leaders had vowed over months that citizens would make their own decisions about whether to accept the inoculations, this move was a significant departure. The soft tone may have contributed to the country’s relatively low vaccination rate of less than 70%.

Scholz, Merkel and the heads of Germany’s 16 states are discussing potential curbs, including restrictions on fans at soccer games and closing bars and clubs in hard-hit areas.
