“Through her behaviour she has taken herself out of the game, because you can only work together in a government with trust if everyone adheres to the common bond that surrounds us, the constitution,” said Nehammer on Thursday evening in “ZIB2”.
With regard to Gewessler’s solo action at EU level regarding the renaturation law, the Chancellor said her misconduct would “cause major problems for Austria”. Nehammer defended Gewessler’s comparison with FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl, which ÖVP General Secretary Christian Stocker had drawn: Kickl once made the controversial statement that the law must follow politics, “the energy minister obviously has the same attitude”.
