Ingratiation in blue – Kickl writes a love letter to the industry

“Now is the time (…) to focus on what is common and not on what divides our parties in favor of Austria,” Kickl wrote in a two-page letter to top officials of the industrial association, including the four IV presidency members from President Georg Knill down, as well as the nine state presidents.

“Countries show how fruitful cooperation can be”
The black-blue government alliances in Upper Austria, Lower Austria and Salzburg would show, Kickl writes in the letter, from which ‘Trend’ author Josef Votzi quotes, ‘how fruitful cooperation can be. These coalitions are living proof that our country can be governed strongly and successfully when two patriotic forces work together.” However, the FPÖ leader’s sweet words do not match the Blues’ actions.

The mood between the FPÖ and ÖVP is frosty
Only during the last meeting of the National Council on Wednesday, the FPÖ leadership with Kickl and General Michael Schnedlitz not only insulted all other factions as a united party, but also caused a major scandal by saying that the parliament during the Corona crisis was partially disabled. period . Especially with the ÖVP, with whom Kickl supposedly wants to form a coalition, the relationship is characterized by deep antipathy. This was also clearly noticeable during the meeting.

Borrow from Donald Trump
Back to the letter: the FPÖ party and club leader, “as the clear winner of the National Council elections”, is openly asking industry leaders to use their influence in the ÖVP so that Blue and Black in can also work together throughout Austria in the future. “Only in an alliance with the FPÖ can the ÖVP develop the strength that our homeland deserves. “Together we can make Austria great again,” says Kickl, as he adorns his courtship of the IV colonels with a loan from Donald Trump.

IV follows developments “with great attention”
The IV himself commented very matter-of-factly on the letter. Current political developments are being followed with great attention. “It is now up to the negotiating parties to find ways to work together constructively to address the current challenges. A reduction in the cost burden, the sometimes absurd bureaucracy and growth impulses must be central to the location.”
