On the other hand, he sees a need for action for those citizens “who are successful abroad but would like to remain Austrians, even if they then get a different citizenship locally”. Austria is “very strict” on this, which is currently not possible. Therefore, he cannot see “why we should suddenly open the gates at the other end,” said Stelzer on Saturday in the “Ö1-Mittagsjournal”.
As far as the turquoise attacks on the judiciary are concerned, the governor, who is also the deputy federal party chairman, affirmed once more in Ö1: There are “state powers to be accepted that have their roles”. With this he is saying “really only what is in the constitution to which we are all sworn”. Already a week ago in a laudatory speech at the awarding of the state’s Golden Decoration of Honor to constitutional judge Helmut Hörtenhuber, he pointed out the separation of powers and the independence of the judiciary as “valuable assets” in the democratic constitutional state – the Upper Austrian News reported. This independence includes “the fact that the highest court decisions are implemented quickly,” said Stelzer, without naming Finance Minister Gernot Blümel (ÖVP).
When asked whether he missed the respect of his party colleagues, club boss August Wöginger or U-Committee mandate Andreas Hanger, he replied: “The gentlemen who, in my opinion, have done that, have also heard from me.” And at the same time Stelzer underlined his position again: “I believe that it has become very clear in the last week that I am no friend of attacking any state authority as an institution. Our state is supported by the constitution and the institutions of the constitution , that has brought us very far so far. ”
With a view to the state elections on September 26th, Stelzer, who is running as a top candidate for the first time, was more buttoned up. After the ÖVP in 2015 under the then governor Josef Pühringer had fallen by a good ten percentage points to 36 percent, he said in the “Mittagsjournal” that he would not announce his election target until the beginning of September.
