There is still life in Salzburg politics. In the “Krone” elephant round on krone.tv and Puls24, the election campaign picked up speed again shortly before the state elections on Sunday. It got heated with Corona and the topic of post chasing (see video above).
Governor Wilfried Haslauer (ÖVP) again warned of the tonality of the FPÖ under Chairman Herbert Kickl. “He travels with you through the country. It’s not just about power, it’s also about how you treat each other,” said the regional head of the Salzburg FPÖ leader, Marlene Svazek. “The wolf in sheep’s clothing remains a wolf.” She didn’t want to mess with Haslauer and said: “I’m looking for Kickl on the ballot paper in vain.” Unusually sharp words came from NEOS boss Andrea Klambauer. The ÖVP is concerned with maintaining power, which is why there is no rejection of a black-blue coalition. “The wolf in sheep’s clothing remains a wolf,” said Klambauer to the binding tone of the Freedom Party had wanted to return to Salzburg for a good job. “I have a lot of wishes that are brought to me,” explained Haslauer and added: “It’s nothing reprehensible and it’s not a job scam.” Svazek saw it differently: “You can see that it’s not a disadvantage to be an ÖVPer. The state police chief and the military commander are self-confessed ÖVP supporters and were at the start of your elections.” he asked for understanding in the Corona discussion: “We had no bad intentions, but wanted to protect vulnerable people. We didn’t know, for God’s sake, what was happening there.” Svazek focused on what that meant for the voters: “It was the first time that political decisions had a direct impact on people’s lives. This contributed to many people becoming aware of what politics actually is.” The discussion about a possible rental price cap in the country was both exciting and bizarre. Only the blue and green top candidates held up the sign for “yes”. Klambauer considers the issue to be “settled” due to its rent control. Haslauer referred to slow-acting measures. SPÖ leader David Egger did not represent a clear point of view, not even with a “Yes” / “No” sign. And in doing so, Haslauer gave the Green government partner a dig: “The Greens were not always a passionate subject. Now I’ve changed my mind,” said the governor. With the exception of the Freedom Party, all parties are in favor of the construction of the facilities in Salzburg – and more is better than less.
