Political positions
In the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, Stamp criticised the perceived top-down approach of the federal government, saying the fact that the states had to constantly clear their policies with Chancellor Angela Merkel “creates the impression that we’re at court”. The states “need their freedom”, he added.Guy Chazan (6 May 2020), [https://www.ft.com/content/77535d00-b1ab-4066-88c0-6402cd17fd4f Germany’s Länder break ranks with Merkel to ease lockdown] Financial Times.
