SPÖ-Leichtfried: “Rosenkranz has to serve Austria, not the FPÖ”

SPÖ constitutional and European spokesman Jörg Leichtfried finds it unbearable that the new National Council President’s first foreign policy meeting is with Viktor Orban – “an anti-democratic, anti-Western politician who wants to destroy the EU and only has Putin as his political friend.” Leichtfried: ” Rosenkranz was elected by the National Council as President of the National Council. In this role he has to serve Austria and the Parliament, not the FPÖ. His time as a ‘party soldier’ ​​is over,” said Leichtfried. *

It is also absolutely unacceptable if Rosenkranz has no fear of contact with the Identitarian Movement and even gives them an exclusive interview. “Rosenkranz is no longer a recipient of orders from Kickl, but is committed to the republic and the constitution. He must always keep Austria’s interests in focus. This means not continuing to bow to Orban in the FPÖ style. And it means staying away from right-wing extremists like the Identitarians. Anything else is not worthy of a National Council President.” (Conclusion) ah
