Burgenland governor Hans Peter Doskozil (SPÖ) does not want to run as SPÖ chancellor, at least not in the 2024 national municipal elections. pressure”. He criticized the federal government’s response to increasing migration. He defended the way of doing many business in Burgenland through state-owned companies – as well as the plans for health care centers in the state.
Regarding the SPÖ’s chances in the upcoming elections and the ongoing conflict with party leader Pamela Rendi-Wagner, Doskozil said the issue cannot be reduced to just the personal situation. Rather, it is about looking at things like housing, health, income or redistribution “with common sense and making clear statements that are credible to people too”.
“From today’s point of view” rather not
You can only win elections if things are right, politicians find the right words, the party is behind it and you have the right top candidate. He did not immediately answer whether this applied to Rendi-Wagner. That will be decided in due course. For his person, he tended to deny this “from today’s point of view”, because it was difficult to get the whole party started – for example with the minimum wage of Burgenland.
On inflation, he criticized the federal government’s watering can subsidies, but insisted on asking for limits on fuel prices, gas—here he complained about the state’s small stake in OMV—or the cut in value-added tax.
Asylum situation “more than dramatic”
He assessed the asylum situation in the country as “more than dramatic”. The actions of the Ministry of the Interior are insufficient, “targeted action at the border will not solve the problem”. Refugees are no longer even interrogated first, but are left to their own devices after their personal details have been captured. There has never been such a way of working in the asylum sector.
