FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl has accused the chairman of the National Council, Wolfgang Sobotka (ÖVP), in an “open letter” of misusing the parliament building “for very special stagings”. The lighting in rainbow colors on the occasion of “Pride Month” is especially striking for the blue club boss.
“On behalf of the Freedom Parliamentary Club, I strongly protest this decision,” Kickl wrote. He also protested “because participation in the so-called ‘Pride Month’ inevitably expresses solidarity with other actions” “that take place in the context of this campaign”, Kickl referred, for example, to “performances by transvestites with clearly sexually motivated names in front of children” or “marches of naked and sexually suggestively disguised persons”.
Kickl went on a rampage against Sobotka in general
But it is not only the solidarity with “Pride Month” that displeases the FPÖ leader: Sobotka presented herself as a “patronizing host with a wine glass on the roof terrace,” Kickl wrote to the chairman of the National Council. Kickl described the golden piano drafted by Sobotka in parliament as “a destructive symbolic policy of people’s representatives in times of increasing poverty”. Again he also criticized Sobotka’s invitation from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy: “The feat of offering the president of a belligerent state the parliamentary stage of a neutral country, which is detrimental to neutrality”, had been achieved.
