The ÖVP met on Saturday in the Graz soap factory for the Styria conference, the hall was filled to capacity. In his opening speech, Federal Minister Karl Nehammer called for “talking more regarding opportunities and possibilities.” In the direction of the FPÖ, he said that some would try to “increase fears and divide where division is possible.”
The rush for the event was so great that registration had to be blocked days ago, as state manager Detlev Eisel-Eiselsberg reported. In addition to Education Minister Martin Polaschek and state councilors Werner Amon, Barbara Eibinger-Miedl, Simone Schmiedtbauer and Karlheinz Kornhäusl, EU election top candidate Reinhold Lopatka was also present. At the beginning there was a dance performance to techno sounds, which left some of the guests present a bit perplexed.
On the other hand, the Chancellor’s speech was clear and unequivocal in its message, which quickly ran through the entire catalog of topics from demarcation from the FPÖ to the abolition of the tax on overtime to the provision of more child care, improvement of the healthcare system and the fight once morest terrorism.
Due to the election campaign, he said at the beginning of the FPÖ that some people had “increased fears in recent years and tried to divide where division is possible.” It is important “not to bring the bad out of those who already have it.” He further stated that “our problem is the right-wing extremists, not the right-wing extremists.”
The sustainable protection of Austria as a business location, no wealth and inheritance tax as well as the promotion of residential property and the creation of more childcare places, which would enable real freedom of choice in the type of care, were topics that were discussed as expected. Nehammer spoke out clearly in favor of clarity in the fight once morest terrorism: “There is no neutrality when it comes to terrorism.” He concluded with the words: “We have the chance to lead people into a good future with honest politics” and was greeted with a standing ovation.
