Chancellor Kurz has had a working discussion with Tyrol’s LH Günther plate in recent weeks. The topic was also the newly appointed commission of experts to review the management of the Tyrolean crown crisis.
After his first visit to the federal state in Vorarlberg, Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (ÖVP) held a working discussion Thursday afternoon with LH Günther Platter (ÖVP) of Tyrol in recent weeks. The topic was also the newly created expert commission to review crisis management for the Tyrolean crown, in which Kurz “had full confidence” despite initial difficulties.
“If there was an error, then they must be brought to light,” Kurz said during a joint visit with Economic Affairs Minister Margarete Schramböck (ÖVP) and Platter at an Innsbruck corona virus detection station. If, for example, a host has covered up crown cases, “then of course he should be punished.” However, one must differentiate whether someone misbehaved due to the difficult situation or whether someone “made deliberate mistakes”. Furthermore, the chancellor complained of “focusing too much” on one place: Ischgl. You have to be careful with the “Blame Game” he said once again. All countries in the world are affected by the corona virus.
Who can claim to have “done everything right”?
Plato burst into the same horn and asked who could say “around the world” or in Europe “that you did everything right”. It is now important that Commission policy “provide all documents”; then you must “evaluate” the decisions.
Regarding the upcoming summer season, Kurz already saw a “good starting position” for Austria. In his opinion, people want to “spend the holidays safely” and travel to countries “where the situation is under control” and that also keep borders closed to those countries “that are still seriously affected”. By testing tourism staff now, they want to show guests that they do “everything for their health,” Platter said.
Kurz also commented on his visit to Kleinwalsertal on Wednesday at the press conference. “You have prepared as well as possible,” he said. However, the safety distance – “although everyone tried” – was not observed by some. In the future, press conferences will only be held in closed rooms to monitor the situation.
Economy Minister Schramböck used her time in Tyrol to speak to the Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis in Kundl. The company had indicated that it could possibly abandon its penicillin production in Tyrol. However, the ministry wanted to avoid this. They have now agreed to establish a working group. But penicillin production is “an important issue,” since it is “economic national defense.” In Tyrol, there is the only large penicillin production facility in the western world, he emphasized.
