“Blue and black threatens to destroy the welfare state and divide society.”

Regarding the task of forming a government to FPÖ leader Kickl, SPÖ federal party leader Andreas Babler emphasized to the SPÖ press service today, Monday: “The SPÖ has always warned against a blue-black government. Now Austria is facing a new edition of the horror coalition under the FPÖ and ÖVP. “Blue-black would destroy our welfare state, dismantle democracy and divide our society,” says Babler, who warns: “Employees, pensioners and families are faced with a clear-cutting program under blue-black. The FPÖ and ÖVP are on the side of the super-rich and large corporations. There are tax gifts in abundance for the Pierers, Benkos and Co. Blue-black puts the savings pen with people. There is a risk of massive cuts in health, education and pensions,” says Babler, who states: “The SPÖ will use all its parliamentary and political power to represent the interests of democracy and the population and fight for social balance and justice.” ****

“Despite the assurances that a democratic state cannot be created with Kickl and that the FPÖ is a danger to our country, the ÖVP under its new chairman Stocker is acting as a stirrup holder for Kickl. The ÖVP breaks its word and betrays its voters. It damages the people and Austria’s reputation,” said Babler, who emphasizes: “Social Democracy remains the force that stands on the side of the population, protects and rebuilds our country.”
