Saxon Parliament Establishes Commission to Review COVID-19 Policies

The bipartisan commission aims to analyze pandemic measures, foster reconciliation, and develop future crisis strategies.

The Saxon Landtag unanimously approved a commission to review the state's COVID-19 policies and their impact from 2020 to 2023.
This marks the first time since 1990 that the CDU has adopted proposals from the Left Party, signaling potential shifts in political collaboration.
The commission will examine topics such as pandemic-related restrictions, impacts on children and social institutions, and the handling of vaccine mandates and injuries.
The initiative seeks to prioritize lessons learned and societal reconciliation over assigning blame, with input from external experts and public engagement.
A separate parliamentary inquiry, supported by the AfD and Sahra Wagenknecht's alliance, will also investigate pandemic-related decisions.
