Kurz settles accounts
“All I can say is: it turns my stomach”
The duel for world power was won by a convicted felon. Former Chancellor Sebastian Kurz met Trump in 2019. The entrepreneur talks to Conny Bischofberger about his character and comeback, the break-up of the traffic light coalition in Germany, Van der Bellen's mistakes, the gender craze - and his differentiated view of the world.
An interview appointment at SK Management GmbH on Vienna's Ringstrasse is like a return to the era of the Kurz II government: Former Finance Minister Gernot Blümel is holding a meeting in one of the offices, while former Agriculture Minister Elli Köstinger chats with Vera Regensburger at the coffee bar by the entrance. With the young Dalmatian "Cosmo", there is now also an office dog. In the middle of it all is Sebastian Kurz in a dark blue slim-fit suit and white shirt; he never dropped the dress code as chancellor. They have all turned their backs on politics and are now in the private sector - as connected and familiar as ever.
"Krone": Mr. Kurz, have you called Donald Trump yet?
Sebastian Kurz: Not yet personally. I am in regular contact with his daughter Ivanka and his son-in-law Jared Kushner. We have written to each other and also spoken on the phone.
