A convicted criminal has won the duel for world power. Former Chancellor Sebastian Kurz met Trump in 2019. The entrepreneur talks to Conny Bischofberger about his character and comeback, the collapse of the traffic light coalition in Germany, Van der Bellen’s mistakes, gender madness – and his differentiated worldview.
An interview appointment at SK Management GmbH on the Ringstrasse in Vienna is like a return to the era of the Kurz II government: former Finance Minister Gernot Blümel holds a meeting in one of the offices, and former Agriculture Minister Elli Köstinger talks in the coffee bar at the Vera Regensburger entrance. With the young Dalmatian “Cosmo” there is now also an office dog. At the center of it all is Sebastian Kurz in a dark blue slim-fit suit and white shirt; he never abandoned the dress code as chancellor; They have all turned their backs on politics and are now in the private sector – connected and trusted as ever.
“Kron”: Mr. Kurz, have you called Donald Trump yet?
Sebastian Kurz: He personally hasn’t yet. I am in regular contact with his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner. We wrote to each other and also spoke on the phone.
