IV President Knill:

“Babler’s plan is a communist manifesto”

Georg Knill was re-elected President of the Federation of Austrian Industries. In an interview with "Krone" editor-in-chief Rainer Nowak, he explains why he was the only candidate, what he wants from the EU and the next government and how he personally gets on with SP leader Andreas Babler and FPÖ chairman Herbert Kickl.

"Krone": Mr. President, congratulations on the almost North Korean result of your re-election.
Georg Knill: I am very grateful and satisfied with the election result because it impressively demonstrates the unity and unity of the Federation of Austrian Industries. We adapted our statutes after our experiences four years ago. And such a solid election result is not communist in nature, but a democratic result, but a very clear, very unambiguous one for me and also for my Vice Presidents, which shows the unity of the organization. It also shows that we as a team stand together for Austria's location policy, especially in these challenging times, and so I am very grateful and happy and look forward to being able to help shape the next four years. It could be that the next four years will be at least as politically challenging as the last.
