Monday night was the last time for 2020: Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz closed the ORF summer series of talks.
Just three days after his keynote address, the hour-long television talk gave the head of government another chance to hit the political stakes for the fall, and there is definitely a need to do so, especially with regard to the Covid crisis- 19. Because health policy measures such as the “traffic light” that will be applied from Friday have recently caused irritation and negative excitement. Thus, much of the conversation revolved around Corona and overcoming the crisis.
Kurz indicated that there could be an adjustment again in the near future. “The federal government will do an evaluation for the fall this week.” At the same time, he reiterated the hope that “things will return to normal in the foreseeable future.” And he defended his Minister of Health, Rudolf Anschober, who with his ministry “always makes honest efforts” to enact high-quality laws and ordinances in accordance with the constitution.
In response to criticism that he, Kurz, had markedly changed his rhetoric in the course of the crisis and possibly even consciously frightened people, the Chancellor replied that he always stuck to the same message at one point, namely: “Just when there is a If there is an effective drug or vaccine, the crisis is over. “
The head of the ÖVP justified his now audible optimism with the fact that all discussions with national and international experts had led to one result: “Research on a vaccine and a drug is going better than expected, a breakthrough is expected for the next summer”.
