Having arranged a vaccination against COVID-19 politicians, the government clearly achieved not the effect on which he counted, because it did it not on time, not organized, without a clear "legend", and the diversity among coalition parties only aggravated the bad impression of this action, Participants consider Transmissions "Open Question" in Latvian Radio 4, writes rus.lsm.lv.
"I wanted it better, but the opposite turned around," the political scientist Ilga Creitus commented on the vaccination of members of the government, the former presidents of the country and other politicians.
Obviously, it was assumed that the injection in front of the television and photographs of political figures will show the skeptics that the vaccine is at least safe, but, according to the guest of the "open question", the action caused only irritation in humans. First, because she passed late, and secondly, the selection of her participants himself aroused questions (for example, one of the grafted - the Minister of Protection of the Environment and Regional Development Arthur Tom Pleshs, who is not 30 years old).
Thirdly, because the event has become a reason for populist statements. So, Ilga Creitus recalled that the ministers of one of the coalition forces (a new conservative party - approx. Red) stated that they would not be vaccinated until the vaccine would receive teachers, although the deputy of the Sejm from the same party, Dagmar Bateinger-le Gall, turned out to be One of the first grafts.
"It was necessary to declare at least from the very beginning: we do it to return full-time parliament sitting so that the government could work normally. And so it turns out that one of them went to be harvested, someone does not ...
The only one who can say thanks is for the former presidents who came, showed an example that they are not afraid and expressed their opinions. But their positive effects were spoiled by the existing policies that began to argue to whom to be taken to whom there is no. And, most importantly, people who could wait a bit, "says I. Crestus, turned out to be in the forefront.
A journalist Andrei Swedes agrees with her: the action turned out to be untimely and poorly organized.
"Obvious political mistake. It had not been done now, and when the first vaccines appeared. Or, as Frau [Angel] Merkel, wait for its turn according to age. It turned out either there or here. Plus, still political labels, when part of the ministers defiantly refused to vaccinate, and the part was built in the queue - this intelligence and tenting against the background of a vaccine deficit and the mass of non-vaccinated old people looks ugly, "he noticed.
Ilga Creitus believes that this action will no longer affect the readiness of the population. Here is the vaccination of Raimond Pauls, as a well-known and really respected in a person's society, can help a common cause. Like a simple living communication of ordinary people from different social groups - not in front of the camera and not by order of the vaccination bureau. Which in itself deserved a sharp criticism of the political scientist.
"Today, the return of this bureau is a minus sign. I am waiting who will take responsibility for the fact that it was created so unprepaid that there was a lot of money on him, and it does not work and Mrs. Eva Yukhnevich does not cope with his duties, which even himself [Prime Minister Krishianis] Karinsh said. I have only one question: who will take the responsibility for this unsuccessful project, for the money she was pretended for the past month? "She says.
In general, according to the participants of the "open question", the appointment of an organization responsible for mass vaccination is not such a bad idea. The question is how and whom we appointed and organized this process and why, for example, it was impossible to entrust the state office, which coordinates the work of the entire public service.
"This bureau did not justify anything and only creates more skepticism and negative emotions in humans. At least, if Karins will decide to at least dispersed the people who work there, it may at least improve the government assessment of the government, "she concluded.
