The government program is – 151 days after the elections of the National Council. Hurrah? Juhu? “What will last a long time, will finally be good”?
What did we expect? After the elections, many Austrians hoped for a blue Chancellor and a new policy and were disappointed because federal president Alexander van der Bellen election winner Herbert Kickl did not provide for government formation.
After that, many of them hoped for a new Zuckerl-Dreier government from ÖVP, Spö and Neos with some so-called “lighthouses”, with large throws that the Republic comes into a radiant future.
After the Sugar Dreams seemed to crack at the beginning of January, the Blue Dreams lived up again. But Herbert Kickl was not satisfied with lighthouses, he ruined his own expectations and those of the potential coalition partner on Light Heights that no one could climb.
The great disillusion followed. There are no lighthouses, at the end of the tunnel, most light at the end of the tunnel. The coalition, which once seemed to be a story, is now coming – even if the Neos on Sunday with his membership investigation and the Spö with their party -international power struggle still has a potential to leave this government before it was involved.
Let us assume that this turquoise/black and red-pink government will actually be praised on Rose Monday. “Now she is doing the right thing,” she has made herself a sober motto.
Looking at sober: the country does not expect lighthouses from this government. It will certainly not be able to “do the right thing now” in all respects. But we must wish her and ourselves that this government was born out of necessity at least in many ways to do the right thing. No radiant lighthouses – but at least the light should not go out in our country. The expectation is low, the question is clear: the government must make good policies for the country for which Austrians.
