Rendi-Wagner on destructive forces: “Completely incomprehensible what was happening”

Your critics read the result differently too: if you look at the result based on the total number of members SPÖ then about a third voted for you …

With every choice in Austria The basis for the approval percentage is the valid votes cast. Gaining the trust of almost 50,000 members is not a matter of course.

What do you want to do with this result at the party?

90 percent of SPÖ members have spoken out for cohesion and unity. I see this as a chore for all of us.

Having this basic desire for unity too Michael Ludwig, Hans Peter Doskozil and Georg Dornauer already recognized?

This wish of the members is clear and I suppose that this will also be fulfilled. The SPÖ has discussed the content and the president publicly long enough.

Federal surveys are not very encouraging for that SPÖ: The ÖVP is 45 and the SPÖ about 20 percent. How do you want to change this mood?

It is not an Austrian phenomenon that is in the acute phase. Crisis the opposition does not have it easy because the media attention is directed to those in power. Can you be fooled by that? Of course not. The acute phase is over. In view of the economic and social consequences, the failures of the government increasingly clear Where are the efficient solutions to existentially insure 600,000 unemployed? You heard great sayings like: whatever it takes. But apparently this does not apply to the unemployed in this country. If nothing happens here, these people will fall into a poverty trap. Where are the measures to ensure that the 1.1 million short-term workers do not become more unemployed? Germany have only half of the unemployed compared to Austriain spite of Crisis. The difference is: the help of the government It was too late for companies, it is too little and too bureaucratic.

How will the highs in the poll affect the elections in Vienna? It could well be that new alliances are formed and that the next mayor is not the first SPÖ arises How do you want to counter this?

I am convinced that the SPÖ By far the strongest force and the next mayor Michael Ludwig will be. There is no doubt that this election is of enormous importance to all social democracy and people in Vienna has. Michael Ludwig and his team are now on the Crisis He did an excellent job. This choice is about whether he is in Vienna There are first-class layouts, affordable apartments, and first-class childcare. All this is reflected in the guiding principles of social democracy: solidarity. This solidarity has become more important, especially in the times of the Crown.

With the Austrian Airlines It points to the button. 1,100 terminations have been announced. Under what conditions would you become one? State aid for the AUA agree?

The focus should be on two things: preserving jobs and securing locations. That’s what preserving AUA extremely important here’s the government asked to make your contribution. All government support should only be in exchange for government participation AUA Be guaranteed.

Even ÖGB president Wolfgang Katzian He said that we cannot afford a second lockdown. What can you do to avoid a second corona wave?

We are on a very good path, but you cannot sit back and relax. No one knows if and when the second wave will come. As long as there are regional outbreaks, it is not a problem. But that federal government You are tasked with using all of your knowledge from Covid’s three months to be better equipped for a possible second wave. It’s about preparing enough hospital capabilities, protective equipment, and testing to prevent them from spreading. Doing all of this work reduces the probability of a second wave.

The inns and cafes will reopen on Friday. However, we still have to live with many restrictions. How will Corona change the understanding of democracy?

Democratic normality is now urgently needed again. In an acute phase, the government needed to act quickly. We made this possible, even if we did not agree with all the measures. But if it can be a few years before there is a vaccine, then everyone must be at the table: civil society, the social partners and politics. Together we must establish the rules of the game, because it cannot be just government or a single politician, for example, decides whether the elderly remain isolated or whether the midweek class remains. It concerns us all. Corona must not take away the breath of democracy.
