Wallner retreat: politicians are people too

Date:

The governor of Vorarlberg is on extended sick leave. Markus Wallner’s health reasons must be accepted and we wish him a speedy recovery. point and out.

Two health ministers and state governors – Messrs Anschober, Mückstein, Platter and Schützenhöfer – have already pointed out the stress of the politician’s job on the occasion of their resignation, which can make you sick.

This should not be dismissed with farmers, that politicians should complain less and endure more. Especially in times of pandemic and war, political decision-makers are under enormous pressure to act, take responsibility and time. Fate and even human lives depend on it.

Wrong decisions do not justify threats of violence
Undeniably wrong decisions have been made. There were also strange media appearances full of contradictions or self-praise. At the same time – in Wallner’s case it was the Wirtschaftsbund affair – Austrian politics is riddled with scandal. But harsh criticism should never lead to personal insults.

How can even threats of violence against politicians and their families be rejected with a shrug? It must be shown what a politician is doing wrong. But there is never anything wrong with the humanity of the person behind it. You can say heartily, “Your politics sucks…!” But “You suck…” that should never be said. Because people should always be respected.
