Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Heinz Fischer, former Federal President and SPÖ grand seigneur, reported on the political similarities between Germany and Austria in a talk with Rainer Nowak. The major parties have lost their majorities in recent years. Instead, far-right parties have gained strength - in Austria the FPÖ and in Germany the AfD.
The Vranitzky doctrine of not governing with the FPÖ at federal level was for his time. "Today's generation has to make up its own mind whether it wants to cooperate with such a party, which adopts special positions and wants a people's chancellor and - like the National Socialists - has rejected the system. You have to keep a critical eye on all of this."
Fischer was surprised by the collapse of the FPÖ and ÖVP. The 86-year-old lawyer also had words of praise for his successor Alexander Van der Bellen. "After Nehammer and Babler announced that they would not work together with Kickl, it was a well-founded step to forge a coalition with another third party. I can understand the approach."
He continued: "I believe that all three party leaderships are strong enough for the alliance to hold." Has the SPÖ learned from the infighting? "I call it unavoidable factors that are necessary for ministerial offices."
