“Best candidate” – Doskozil with core at election tour stop in homeland

“Hans Peter is the most suitable candidate,” said the former chancellor, who was invited on the tour as a guest to talk about his economic expertise. But first it was about the party, the candidate and how a federal government of ÖVP and FPÖ could be avoided. In any case, the current process of member research is positive: “Political and social-democratic concepts are being discussed,” says Kern.

Former Chancellor: Doskozil “best candidate”
“I am convinced that Hans Peter is the most suitable candidate we can put forward.” It is crucial to show people an alternative, because the SPÖ knows people’s problems. He referred to the themes of care, energy transition, inflation: “You have shown how you make politics in the interest of the people.” Preventing black and blue government is the goal, “but the means is to make credible politics.”

The former chancellor criticized the fact that energy companies are making high profits while consumer energy prices are skyrocketing: “A few people do business, everyone pays. You have to break through such mechanisms.’ He therefore demanded that those who achieve something should also gain something: ‘That is the task of the Social Democracy, because we are the party of achievement.’

Kern also called for a “strategy of strength” to reduce dependence on China – in antibiotic production or in solar panel production. A “strategy of strength”, which was also supported by Doskozil. Regarding the current process, he explained, “It’s not about which people are victorious, it’s about us winning elections.”

Doskozil: You have to be willing to compromise
It is now important to approach each other and also “have the measure”, to admit that you do not agree with every proposal, said the mayor of Burgenland: “But you also have to be willing to compromise and other opinions.” Kern’s presence documents “that we can approach each other.”

There were also critical questions on his tour, such as: “Why are you astride, why is there a public discussion? Not everything always works perfectly,” admitted Doskozil, emphasizing: “But now we have the unique opportunity to take this step .”

The fact that the FPÖ succeeds in polls with Herbert Kickl “is not Kickl’s strength to God,” he said. As Minister of the Interior, he has “initiated nothing” in terms of migration policy: “He only gets an influx because we are too weak.” “row”.

“Will Win at the End of the Day”
“I take a risk, all of us. But in the end we will win,” said Doskozil in Neudörfl – where social democracy was founded 149 years ago – in any case convinced and earned standing ovations and “Dosko” calls before state manager Roland Fürst took the stage and the guests made a call to motivate many in their environment to vote for the Burgenlander in the member survey.

Babeler specified a plan in case of defeat
Meanwhile, Doskozil’s competitor for the party leadership, Andreas Babler, specified how he would handle a possible defeat in the membership survey. So he wouldn’t start number three at the party congress – “unless everyone is within three percent,” he said in an interview on ORF III. Should there be a big gap between him and the number one, “I would say it’s a clear result”.
