Today, FPÖ federal party chairman club chairman NaBG reacted with criticism. Herbert Kickl on the reports on the planned visit to the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj in Austria: “It is irresponsible, especially now that many pages are striving for peace talks to give the president of a country standing in the war. This is not only a foreign policy foul, but also makes Austria a possible target in the event of an escalation! Austrians – we can’t allow that. “
Kickl recalled that neutrality is mandatory one of the main pillars of Austrian foreign policy and for the government of power: “Neutrality is not a political desired concert, but a binding obligation to protect our government. In view of their grossly negligent behavior, the loser spares can save their events for the national holiday because it is not honest with their own population. ”
Kickl further emphasized that the state visit also contradicts the commandment of economy: “It is a mockery to all taxpayers if you spend huge amounts for diplomatic productions, while the Austrians are suffering from record inflation. This shows how far this loser government has moved away from the needs of the population!”
“This visit is another component in the chain of neutrality injuries and the unbelievable neutrality policy of the past few years. I remind you of the video message of the Ukrainian president in the National Council, the large-scale business trip of the NEOS Foreign Minister Meinl-Reisinger to Kiev and the excessive war rhetoric of the unit party in parliament. To be a mediator – not to become a war party.
“While in other states the scenes are talked about peace and work meticulously on solutions, Austria is de facto on the side of the conflict. This is a massive error that makes our country a political game ball and potential goal of an escalation. So our country becomes a risk partner. Organizing conflicting parties to find a solution at the negotiating table.
Anyone who as Chancellor or Outdoor Ministers unilaterally opens the “propaganda stage” for warring parties turn themselves and the whole country a political puppet, continues Kickl. “Our interests are peace, sovereignty and an end to the war machinery. The black-red-pink traffic light government once again acts against the will of the population-this time this self-staging is cheating on self-hazard!”
The FPÖ federal party chairman therefore called for a foreign policy return to the basic principles of Austrian neutrality and a clear rejection of one-sided positioning: “Foreign policy productions in Austria and war rhetoric at European level bring us no step closer to the end of the unspeakable suffering in the east of the continent. Austria must not become a field of international conflicts. Neutrality, sovereignty and security are serious.
