For the new FPÖ boss, he has few friendly words left in the conversation with the “press”, he has cut off contact with his “Ibiza partner” and once close partner Johann Gudenus.
Strache said he wanted to save the government “in the spirit of state responsibility” after watching the Ibiza video that showed him and Gudenus at the infamous meeting with an alleged oligarch in Ibiza in the summer of 2017. “The chancellor Chancellor (Sebastián, NB) briefly assured me that I would resign in the event of my resignation. As referee, I should have looked back, I should not have resigned. In retrospect, the resignation as vice-chancellor was correct, but as party leader it was a mistake ” he repeated. his point of view on things already expressed in the “Kurier” earlier this week.
On the one hand, “he underestimated the number of ex-combatants who wanted to use this situation for their own interests and, on the other hand, the Machiavellian desire for power of Sebastian Kurz and his ÖVP.” And one should not “forget that after my resignation as Vice Chancellor there was no reason for new elections, but the ÖVP caused them by political calculation,” Strache said. A “functional and well-functioning government” had to “give way to the desire for a single turquoise government.” “And with the Greens now it is almost a success,” said the former fallen FPÖ leader, who now wants to save his political career in Vienna with the DAÖ list, which he founded for him.
Strache told his former FPÖ party that the “so-called third field” was more important than ever in Austria, “which is why the current situation hurts me particularly.” For this reason, he could not “remain silent” because he did not believe “that the true values of freedom still play a role under Kickl and Hofer.” “For Hofer, the ideal FPÖ is a worm-like process of the ÖVP, for Kickl an Austrian version of the Hungarian work bike,” said Strache. None of them existed “because my FPÖ is committed to the values of 1848 and the vision of a free and social civil society. And with this vision I would like to run in the fall,” he said of his ambitions in the Vienna state elections in October. .
Strache emphasized that “he had no contact with his old friend and colleague Johann Gudenus. Because” naturally “he was disappointed,” as Gudenus acquaintances brought me to Ibiza in 2017. And due to some contradictions, I discontinued contact. “
