“Yes, the FPÖ is not making it easy for you at the moment. But I think you have to be pragmatic about it”Finance Minister Magnus Brunner (ÖVP) said “Crown newspaper”. A spokesman for Brunner then emphasized that this was only related to Lower Austria.
Your opinion matters:
“In the course of the authorization, this was also emphasized to the colleague at the Krone, unfortunately the adaptation was not adopted, the quote was presented incorrectly and placed in the wrong context”, the spokesman explained. In the “Crown newspaper” was initially no response to APA request.
In many federal states there are or have been coalitions with the FPÖ, the newspaper quoted the minister as saying. But he also wants to have related this to the past cooperation between red and blue in Burgenland. He does not interfere in the decision-making environment of the Lower Austrian state government. According to the transcript of the ministry, Brunner said about the National Council election: “Speculations about how the election will end are far too early.”
Brunner defended brakes in climate protection
Once again, the finance minister defended himself in an interview with the “Crown”why his party brakes on climate issues despite the upright coalition with the Greens. “When it comes to climate protection, we want to take people and companies with us. We want to remain open to technology and use common sense”, Bruner said. However, it is true that climate protection is one of the greatest challenges.
