As announced, the AfD parliamentary group in the Saxon state parliament has requested a committee of inquiry into the coronavirus policy. It is to critically examine the work of the Saxon government in connection with the coronavirus in the period from 2019 to 2024. "We want to use the entire legislative period until 2029 to investigate the government's serious violations of fundamental rights," said AfD parliamentary group leader Jörg Urban in advance. CDU Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer will have to explain to the committee why outdoor gatherings of only ten people were permitted in Saxony. "We had the impression from the outset that citizens' protests were being suppressed here," emphasized Urban.
In the opinion of the AfD, the publication of the Robert Koch Institute's protocols raises the question of whether the Conference of Minister Presidents deliberately ignored the recommendations of scientists. With the compulsory vaccination and numerous lockdowns, the rule of law has been "trampled underfoot". "Instead, the government established a state of measures that undermined the free and democratic basic order. This dark episode in our recent German history must be dealt with thoroughly," it said. This also includes holding those responsible to account.
