She accused her government colleague of saying that setting a monument for herself was more important than reaching agreement with the other ministries when it came to the climate plan. Edtstadler doesn’t see any way to give in: “She’s being unreasonable here.”
- Edtstadler on the climate in the coalition:
The draft climate plan should have been sent to the EU some time ago, but it failed because Edtstadler stopped Gewessler’s corresponding draft. The European Minister also justified this on Sunday by saying that three ministries had objected to the plans, but the minister had not taken this into account: “It was not a national plan but a Gewessler plan.”
- About the verdict against Sebastian Kurz:
The plan was then sent to Brussels without the knowledge of the ÖVP. Then she accepted her responsibility to withdraw him. Gewessler was apparently given “bad legal advice”. But discussions are continuing, so she hopes to find a “green path,” said Edtstadler. The final plan must be submitted by June.
- On the abolition of official secrecy:
As far as the future government constellation is concerned, the minister first wants to let the voters speak. The only thing Edtstadler ruled out was collaboration with FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl, whom she accused of stopping at nothing. He also has a problem with women.
- Possible coalitions after the election:
- To be elected to the European Parliament
Although the European Minister accused the Freedom Party of promoting Euroskepticism with hatred and dislike, she did not rule out a coalition with the FPÖ per se. Even if she listens to SPÖ leader Andreas Babler, there are many things that she can’t do anything with – such as higher taxes. On the other hand, she also knows constructive forces in the SPÖ. If a three-party coalition were to emerge, Edtstadler also did not commit himself, but said that some Green statements would not have stirred the drum to continue the cooperation. She neither wanted to confirm nor deny that she would prefer the NEOS.
- About tackling anti-Semitism:
Edtstadler is “extremely concerned” about the increasing number of anti-Semitic incidents, especially when it comes to young people. These would be “brainwashed” on the Internet. They would only get what they think reflected back from echo chambers. Teachers should therefore be given instructions on how best to deal with relevant statements. Edtstadler is positive about a Holocaust museum in Austria. It would be possible for them to lay the foundation stone during this legislative period.
- About upcoming U-committees:
Edtstadler defended the fact that the ÖVP had initiated its own investigative committee: “We are not in the biblical age where people say they turn the other cheek.”
