BP candidate Marco Pogo – ‘Government only concerned with its own scandals’

I would be very happy if he would realize this request to have a beer with me. But there are more important topics to discuss than my professional career,” said presidential candidate Marco Pogo (Beer Party). He responds to the “Krone” interview with Alexander Van der Bellen during his visit to Salzburg. There, Van der Bellen says that he would like to have a beer with Pogo. He would also be interested in why the medical graduate decided not to work as a doctor, but to run for president. However, Pogo does not want to dwell on this subject for long, but rather discuss the content. “We need to talk about the multiple crises we are currently dealing with,” he says in the “Krone” interview.

Marco Pogo, real name Dominik Wlazny, is a musician, doctor and comedian. In 2015 he founded the Beer Party. With her behind him, he now wants to enter the election campaign for the Hofburg. It is clear to Pogo that something has to change: “Because of its many scandals, the government is only concerned with itself and not with its actual task.”

Pogo seems to fall with care lines
Fair-weather politicians are not needed, but real, competent people. “I would like to have politicians in the country who not only think about tomorrow, but also the day after tomorrow,” says the 35-year-old Viennese. This is also why Pogo entered politics. “I want to get involved with ideas because I think there’s a better way,” he says. Unlike the incumbent Federal President, Pogo is anxiously looking forward to the fall. “I’m afraid too little is being done to control what’s to come.” He also lacks clear words. “Everyone realizes that the problems are only drowned out by a lot of talk these days,” Pogo says.

FPÖ candidate Walter Rosenkranz follows the same line. He criticizes Van der Bellen as a “duty defender of a faltering government”. People are up to their necks in water because of inflation – it takes more than “fair-weather slogans”.
