Politics by magic
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Three weeks before the elections in Germany, Chancellor Olaf Scholz has warned his fellow countrymen against Austrian conditions. Scholz is referring to the coalition between the right-wing populist FPÖ and the formerly bourgeois ÖVP that is on our doorstep.
It is doubtful that Scholz can scare people in Bad Reichenhall, Chemnitz or Hitzacker an der Elbe with his blue spectre. The admonitions are as useless as the gloating over Friedrich Merz's failure with the migration law.
All that remains is the impression that politics has once again made no progress. In their frustration, many turn to loudmouths who promise something. Perhaps some are already seeing Herbert Kickl, like Donald Trump, signing stacks of decrees with a scratchy felt-tip pen that will make "foreigners" or inflation disappear as if by magic?
Oh, if only politics were as simple a business as these people would have you believe. But neither the angry exaggerations from the right-wing camp nor the defiant dogmatism from the left-wing corner help. In politics, the interests of everyone from the young to the retired, from the less well-off to the wealthy have to be reconciled on a daily basis. Anyone who claims that this works with a few signatures and snappy slogans is a charlatan.
