The ÖVP calls on the Freedom Party to contribute to substantive issues. In a press conference on Thursday, Secretary General Nico Marchetti expressed the expectation that the FPÖ should present its own proposals on two-thirds matters such as the Electricity Industry Act.
He also sees the Freedom Party as being challenged in the planned state reform, as they have an important role with the chairman of the state governors’ conference, Mario Kunasek.
Marchetti is not impressed with the FPÖ’s previous opposition work. He accused the Freedom Party of merely copying parliamentary inquiries and circulating them. Even in press releases, the same text is sent out, only the name is changed.
Response from FPÖ Secretary General Christian Hafenecker
However, nothing has been heard from the FPÖ in terms of content, with the Secretary General using the Electricity Industry Act as an example. Here, the Freedom Party, as the largest opposition party, is challenged to also present its own proposals on how to reduce electricity prices. FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl avoided government responsibility, now he should at least take responsibility in the opposition.
“How lazy do you have to be to hold a press conference that lasts only six minutes and is unsurpassed in triviality?” responded FPÖ Secretary General Christian Hafenecker. The real reason for the “botched appearance of the ÖVP man” was distraction. Because today, former ÖVP Minister Wolfgang Brandstetter is in court.
