Melchior explains in a statement to the APA: “Unfortunately, after the national alliance at the beginning of the corona pandemic, the opposition parties quickly decided to change course.”
This was different during the first corona wave in the spring, which the federal government, in its opinion, “managed to control with consistent measures.” At that time the ÖVP was “very impressed” with the “cohesion of all political parties in our country”.
But now this is completely different: “It leaves us as a party of the people stunned that especially the FPÖ and NEOS put the political interests of the parties before the welfare of the Austrians,” said Melchior. And it is “completely incomprehensible why the two sides do not participate in a non-partisan alliance.”
Melchior’s blame assignments to the FPÖ can hardly be surpassed in terms of ludicrousness, liberal general secretary Michael Schnedlitz said in a broadcast: “It was and is the ÖVP, along with the Greens that it led, that thwarted a national alliance in the Corona crisis. Prevented. ” The media would always be informed first about the planned measures and only then to the opposition parties.
In a broadcast, NEOS Secretary General Nikola Donig spoke of “misdirected aggression” by the ÖVP. He testifies that the federal government is following a “zigzag course” leading to chaos in Austria: “Instead of understandable measures, there is lack of transparency, false information, chaos and ignorance.” Donig emphasizes once again that solidarity cannot be a one-way policy. “The ÖVP is abusing national solidarity as a ban on debate.”
