SPÖ party leader Andreas Babler gives himself and the SPÖ marks of “three to two” for their work so far: “We are visible and noticeable and have passion.” He has many demands in the areas of migration, work, economy and health, as he said in krone.tv’s summer interview with Gerhard Koller and Jana Pasching.
Andreas Babler wants to ‘improve’ the situation in Austria with the SPÖ – also when it comes to the migration problem. Parallel structures, overwhelmed classes, values courses and a lack of integration support: “24 years of ÖVP and FPÖ responsibility at the Ministry of the Interior have shown what is going wrong. Those who shout loudly are actually responsible for the problems in the country. They have created these circumstances themselves. People feel that.”
Possibility of repatriation agreements
Asked about deportation, Babler says that there should be a possibility of carrying out repatriations. “We have not made a single decision on a repatriation agreement among the FPÖ and ÖVP for fourteen years.” It is no wonder that the employees of the Federal Office for Immigration and Asylum (BFA) are desperate. In short, Babler is in favor of criminals “sitting” in this country, as he explains, and not being deported to a country “where they are celebrated for their crimes and then come back to us two years later.”
When asked about Hans-Peter Doskozil, who recently said that people would talk about personnel after the election, Babler said: “Yes, I will talk about personnel myself.” He is “slowly beginning to think that this might tire him out a bit,” he explains.
Nehammer “fully isolated”
ÖVP leader Karl Nehammer has “completely isolated himself” by demanding that no new taxes be introduced. “He will not find anyone there.” Babler firmly rules out a coalition with the FPÖ. This has been “a systematic attack on the democratic pillars for years.”
