The posters will be posted throughout Austria from September. There were still no details on the number of declarations of support that had already been received. “I would like to wait until everyone is in our house,” Rosary asked for understanding.
There are always compromises in politics – and in life – Rosencrantz explained the slogan. “But there are areas where a compromise is not possible for me,” he clarified. Because it is then a “so-called lazy compromise”. This is the case when one side is pulled over the table.
That’s why he doesn’t want to go into the interests of the country. Lazy compromises have no place in areas such as freedom, neutrality, prosperity, security and the future. Incumbent Alexander Van der Bellen, on the other hand, “nodded off” everything. For example, he did not defend the constitution against an “unconstitutional corona policy”.
Rosencrantz announced that if he were to become President, he would review laws before signing them to ensure they were constitutional. “Why doesn’t an active federal president do that?” The FP applicant also held out the prospect of wanting to get involved in assessment procedures as part of legislative projects.
Walter Rosenkranz’s statement:
Kickl criticized Van der Bellen
He also reiterated the President’s right to dismiss a government. In any case, he would not do this for fun and frolics or for party political calculations, he asserted – but emphasized: “There must be no ban on thinking here.”
Rosenkranz did not want to commit to a desired result in the ballot on October 9th. His goal would be to get into a runoff, he reiterated.
There was also criticism for Van der Bellen today because he will not take part in TV duels. If the Federal President is afraid of not being able to get through a discussion, then one has to ask oneself whether he is still “capable”, said party leader Herbert Kickl. If the worst comes to the worst, Van der Bellen is also the supreme commander of the army, who must have a certain “stress resistance”, he pointed out.
Herbert Kickl’s statement:
Conversations with Tassilo Wallentin
Kickl confirmed today that there had also been talks with competitor Tassilo Wallentin about possible support from the FPÖ. Wallentin approached him, Kickl reported. We talked about joining forces. Kickl indicated, however, that no agreement had been reached on the question of “coercive corona measures”. With the strict rejection of these measures, there is no “mooching about” with him, said the FPÖ boss.
And it is also possible that “personal vanity” sometimes plays a role in a candidacy, he suspected. In any case, he came to the realization that the social contacts and the whole manner of Mr. Wallentin “are not as compatible with the project of a social homeland party as he might have imagined”.
