“The resignation of SPÖ leader Andreas Babler? I did some extra research. There isn’t one.” Michael Pommer, boss of “Krone” Vienna, is surprised. About the behavior of the ex-chancellor. From the federal president. But especially about that of the SPÖ – and its party leader: “An overestimation of yourself that we only know from fables.”
I’ve seen a lot in the last few hours:
A chancellor who said goodbye to his country. And we do this via video, just like we record for major birthdays or for congratulations to bridal couples. Camera on, a few nice words, a smile, camera off. 4 minutes, 26 seconds. He probably doesn’t like goodbyes.
Many election losers were driven in limousines to meetings with other election losers to discuss the future of a country that is increasingly turning away from them.
A federal president who is once again playing for time, even though we have the least of it in this crisis situation.
The new ÖVP boss Christian Stocker, who must have a backbone as soft as rubber. A political contortionist for whom Herbert Kickl was the devil yesterday and a devil today.
What I strangely didn’t see: the resignation of SPÖ leader Andreas Babler. I did some extra research. Doesn’t exist.
