"Krone" commentary
I wonder what Karl Nehammer was thinking …
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen What was Karl Nehammer thinking when he returned to Vienna from a business meeting in Berlin on Friday afternoon? "Black-Red planning a traffic light comeback!" "NEOS are getting into Zuckerl 2.0".
And why wasn't this possible two months ago? It's probably not just the eighth former ÖVP Chancellor of the Republic who is asking himself this. Black-red-pink was exactly his plan. Until the NEOS ended the talks and there was no deal to be made with the SPÖ either.
Nehammer's central election promise was: not with Kickl. Whether that was a clever strategy is another matter. But he certainly remained true to his principles. What followed is actually incredible. General Secretary Christian Stocker moved up, negotiated with "Nobody needs you!" Kickl and failed. Now Stocker is entering a three-party coalition with those who previously couldn't with the ÖVP.
"Great time with my family," Nehammer posted two weeks ago under a photo showing him, his wife Kathi and their dog "Fanny" in front of a mountain panorama. Perhaps he is enjoying his new life. But perhaps he also regrets not having negotiated further back then, allowing himself to be maneuvered into a dead end by the insistence of the business wing.
In any case, in the light of current developments, Karl Nehammer's resignation was the most senseless change of leadership ever seen in the ÖVP.
