Sebastian Kurz loses one of his biggest supporters: The former Lower Austrian governor Erwin Proell recommended the ex-chancellor via “Krone” (Thursday edition) a “clear withdrawal” from politics. “Half pregnant” does not exist in politics, he said, but at the same time spoke out in favor of a coalition with the SPÖ in the federal government. Andreas Khol officially defended Kurz and recommended that Proell stick to his own recommendations.
When asked about a letter from prominent ÖVP party members who said that the former chancellor should finally say goodbye to politics, Proell said: “It’s just hop or drop. I have decided on a clear retreat and can only recommend everyone to go to the to withdraw the interests of the respective community of opinion completely.” This applies to everyone – including Kurz.
At the same time, Proell himself commented on daily politics. “I wish that Karl Nehammer would continue to lead the republic after the National Council elections. He is predictable and gives security in these difficult times. His performance is getting better and better,” he said. And with regard to a possible coalition after the election, the ex-governor told the current party leader: “I would like a grand coalition with the SPÖ.”
Kurz himself did not comment on Proell’s statements for the time being, but sent another party leader into the match: “I would like to take Proell at his word,” countered the former President of the National Council, Khol, in an interview with APA. Proll’s comments are superfluous. “Half pregnant does not exist – that applies to him as well as to me.” The former governor himself should also heed another piece of advice: “Advice is a blow.”
