Two films about the accused ex-chancellor fuel rumors of a political comeback. Sebastian Kurz (37) talks to Conny Bischofberger about his ubiquity, ‘blood money’ and climate glue, Nehammer, Kickl and Teichtmeister and his new life as an entrepreneur.
An elegant Wilhelminian style house on the Ringstrasse in Vienna. SK Management GmbH is located on the fourth floor. Light, chic rooms with photos of the young artist couple Ciu-Ciu, cacti and lots of glass. The former youngest head of government in the world is not wearing a blue slim-fit suit, as is almost always the case, but a khaki-colored linen jacket, a white shirt, sports pants and sneakers.
We conduct the interview in his deskless office at the round conference table in front of a classic, blood-red Nitsch. On the wall next to it hangs the modern cross that has accompanied him through all phases of his career since his youth – from the Young ÖVP to the State Secretariat for Integration, then to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to Ballhausplatz and now to the private sector.
“Krone”: Mr. Kurz, how many people work here on 400 square meters?
Sebastian Kurz: Our entrepreneurial activities are still very young. A vulnerable plant, but I am very grateful that it is doing well. We have ten people working here in Vienna, currently sixty working at our company in Tel Aviv, and we are growing there very quickly.
They also have some subtenants, for example former ministers Gernot Blümel and Elli Köstinger. Do they, as the name suggests, also pay rent?
(Laughs.) I’ve always enjoyed surrounding myself with people I like. I spend most of my time abroad, so it’s nice to see familiar faces when I come back to Vienna. Naturally, everyone who uses the building here also pays their contribution. We really enjoy our community.
Last Wednesday there were 700 guests at the premiere of “Kurz – Der Film”, including yourself. How are you doing as a movie star?
