There is no political peace between the Chancellor and the SPÖ not even on the national holiday. “Can you be even more arrogant?” He asks Chancellor Ruth Becher, a member of the SPÖ, on Sunday.
The occasion was the statements of Chancellor Sebastian Kurz in the KURIER interview. When asked about the criticisms of the SPÖ governors, according to which the federal government does not include the red countries in the crown measures nor the turquoise countries, the chancellor replied: “We argue a lot about small things, hopefully not let’s lose sight of the essential. ” We really have other problems now. “
“Small mind”
This outraged the SPÖ. “That means nothing more and nothing less that Mr. Kurz believes it is appropriate to better prepare ÖVP-led countries for population measures than those that are not led by ÖVP,” Becher said. The fact that the people of these countries should be “punished” for their voting behavior with poor preparation for health-preserving measures is “unbelievable.”
The SPÖ accuses Kurz of “petty politics”.
The discussion has been going on since Wednesday.
The discussion started last Wednesday. The federal government promised governors in a video conference on Monday that they would receive draft regulations for the new measures from the crown on Wednesday.
But on Wednesday nothing came, the responsible Health Minister Rudolf Anschober had not finished the text. Instead, however, ÖVP federal states had already received a preliminary draft from ÖVP minister Gernot Blümel on Monday night for an internal ÖVP vote.
The SPÖ governors found out and loudly complained about the “second-class treatment”.
Due to the delay in the text, Anschober had to postpone the entry into force of the regulation by two days from Friday to Sunday, October 25.
“The pandemic requires federal-state cooperation”
The director of the Innsbruck Institute of Federalism, Peter Bußjäger, appeals in a guest comment on Standardthat, especially in a pandemic, the interaction between the federal government and the federal states must work. Otherwise, tailor-made regional measures are difficult to implement.
The “party nonsense” has happened time and time again, but it is not doing the cause a good service, says the federalism professor.
