Because Corona has “left deep chasms in our society”, Chancellor Karl Nehammer and Health Minister Johannes Rauch want to start a dialogue about the consequences of the pandemic. It was initially unclear what this meant.
“Corona was a kind of trauma for our society that we now have to go through together. This pandemic was the first pandemic in recent history, none of us had had this experience before, not even our grandparents,” Nehammer said in a broadcast on Wednesday.

It did not become much more concrete, but it was pompous: “We also want to reach out to all those who no longer felt welcome in the middle of society due to the pandemic and its consequences.” . This must then be discussed with all the political groups in parliament.
Health Minister Johannes Rauch: “The corona pandemic and its consequences are weighing heavily on people and high inflation has exacerbated this. Many people feel abandoned, no longer represented by the state. In Austria, one of the richest countries in the world, this is all about the essence of democracy. Three years after the start of the pandemic, it’s time for a new get-together. We need to talk seriously about how we can shape our country together, how we can restore trust.”
