I had absolutely no desire Norbert Hofer, head of the FPÖ Monday at the ORF “ZiB2” to answer questions about his party’s relationship with identities. After his distraction in the direction of political Islam did not help, he went on to counterattack the ORF. That’s “not a very smart question,” he says when it comes to the question of whether the 2018 board decision on a role ban for identities active in the FPÖ still applies.

Persistent queries from ZiB moderators Martin Thür did not help, Hofer did not answer questions about identities, with the exception of the one comment that FPÖ Secretary General Michael Schnedlitz November, after which “this distancing has definitively ended”, only affected one Salzburg official.

Rather than respond to how he feels about the planned ban on identity symbols, he accused the ORF of “doing the best publicity for this group,” saying it was “It’s good that I disconnected from the GIS”, when the “forcibly funded ORF knows nothing better than wanting to talk about a mini-group”, even though an Islamist terrorist killed people in Vienna (early November).

“That really gets on my nerves.”Hofer said and recommended to Thür “to make a seated circle with the identities”. The “mini-mini-group” of the Identitarians was “really irrelevant” to him, Hofer, he didn’t want to “have to deal with it permanently”.

Hofer had already grown a bit impatient when it came to Corona. – when he repeated several hours before for Dagmar Belakowitsch, FPÖ health spokesperson The demand raised was raised to reorganize the National Vaccination Board, which they consider too close to the government. This question “is not particularly important” to him and that will not be the key to the solution, Hofer avoided.

Doubts and criticism of the crown measures

In general, he was quite cautious with Corona, where the FPÖ often doubts and criticizes the measures. He hoped that “vaccination saves lives”, for high-risk patients it would be “at least a great benefit.” The FPÖ does not want to “convince anyone to vaccinate or not vaccinate”Hofer emphasized, and “now he thinks science has its word.” There should be an open discussion about open questions, such as whether one can infect others despite being vaccinated. Because for him personally it is important that “I cannot infect anyone”.

Refuse mandatory vaccination, including indirect ones (for example, no entry to events)Hofer confirmed. AND criticized the fact that members of the government will not be vaccinated until April or May, after health professions and patients at risk. That was “strange”, he thought, the government was relevant to a country, and the time would be “quite late if you are convinced of the right path.”
