Ex-President Fischer: – “Neutrality cannot be interpreted at will”

Date:

Fiercely contested, wildly contested. Austria’s neutrality is being tested by the war in Ukraine. Arms transport across our national territory, demining or even joining NATO? What does former Federal President Heinz Fischer say about this? The 84-year-old was not only president of the Federal Republic of Germany for twelve years, but also a professor of constitutional law at the university.

Driven and happy, Heinz Fischer turns into the Belvedere on foot. Austria’s neutrality was sealed here on May 15, 1955. This made a strong impression on the later Federal President: “I was standing there on the left”, he points to the huge park. left, where else? “On the other hand, it would have been right-wing,” jokes the established social democrat. He, then 16 years old and very interested in politics, outside. His father Rudolf Fischer entered as SPÖ State Secretary. A copy of the state treaty signed here is in the marble room where our conversation takes place.
