For the time being, the Portuguese government has waived plans for the mandatory use of a Corona app. The controversial project still needs to be discussed further, said Prime Minister António Costa in a television interview.
The Corona app has been downloaded around 2.3 million times so far. That is only a good third of what the government is aiming for in the country with a good ten million inhabitants.
That is why Parliament should vote this week on a law that makes the use of the program for mobile phones mandatory. But the idea is criticized from many sides as impracticable.
The police warned that they could not enforce such a law. Legal experts thought it was unconstitutional.

#Poland #Warsaw #Abortion

A country in the middle of Europe is facing a relapse into the Middle Ages: Poland is heading for a further tightening of its already strict abortion law.
The Constitutional Court in Warsaw declared a previously applicable exemption from the abortion ban to be unconstitutional. According to this, termination of pregnancy was previously permitted if the unborn child had severe malformations.
According to the judges, this violates the right to life guaranteed in the Polish constitution. More than 100 MPs, mostly from the ranks of the ruling Law and Justice party (PiS), had turned to the highest Polish court with their criticism of the current legal situation.

Federal Minister of Economics Peter Altmaier has given freelancers and self-employed people hope for an "entrepreneur wage" in the course of planned improvements to Corona aid.
However, an agreement must still be found in the coalition, Altmaier said after a video conference with business associations in Berlin. Altmaier agreed to improve and increase government aid. It is also about how solo self-employed people can be better helped.
Business associations have been criticizing for a long time that the previous aid is not a perfect fit. Andreas Lutz, Chairman of the Board of the Association of Founders and Self-Employed Germany, said that many solo self-employed workers work from home.
