Austria’s approval of security commitments would amount to another huge step towards Austria’s and the EU’s entry into the war

Vienna (OTS) – At the EU summit of the 27 heads of state and government that ended yesterday, in addition to the intended forced asylum distribution against the will of the EU states, a first summit draft with security commitments to Ukraine was also discussed. The planned security pledges reaffirmed the EU’s readiness to “provide viable military assistance to Ukraine for as long as it is needed”. and our ÖVP Federal Chancellor Nehammer is live with us.The first draft was discussed, but one thing is clear: if Nehammer does not resolutely oppose these security promises, it would be another huge step towards Austria and Europe entering the war, which will also take us will cost billions more. Then the Federal Chancellor has finally sold our neutrality to Brussels. I call on the Federal Chancellor to guarantee that he will use all means to oppose these security promises and will clearly refuse to approve them that the declarations of intent by the ÖVP are worth nothing. Because at the latest after arrival in Brussels, the clear mandate and will of the sovereign has been thrown overboard,” demanded the FPÖ Europe spokeswoman NAbg. Petra Steger Federal Chancellor Nehammer.

The formulation of future security commitments by the EU caused a lot of criticism in the run-up to the summit, “but unfortunately ÖVP Federal Chancellor Nehammer fell down again and brought the people of Austria to Brussels”. Steger continues: “Instead of speaking out decisively against these security promises as a representative of a neutral state, there should only be a tiny note in the final paper in which Austria’s neutrality should be mentioned. In addition, with the security commitments – in addition to the existing bilateral and EU pots – further billions are to flow to Ukraine. Instead of constantly demanding, I wonder where the guarantee commitments from Ukraine are, for example when it comes to extending the transit contract and securing our electricity supply? So far, neither the EU nor the ÖVP or the Greens have called for guarantees from Ukraine to the EU or Austria, but when it comes to commitments at the expense of the Austrian population, the ÖVP and the Greens are at the ready. Nehammer is unworthy of a Chancellor who should represent the interests of the sovereign, the Austrians. After all, anyone who doesn’t stand up for their country, its citizens and their interests with heart and mind, but instead sacrifices the Austrians at the altar of the Brussels EUrocrats every time they visit Brussels and thus betrays them, has lost any claim to the chancellorship. A liberal Chancellor Herbert Kickl would fulfill his obligations as Federal Chancellor and defend our neutrality and thus our sovereignty against the Von der Leyens and Co. with all their might and determination.”

As a representative of a neutral state, Nehammer must finally lend strength to his voice and work to resolve the conflict instead of fueling it. “Apparently, the black-green federal government is not only not in a position to uphold the neutrality requirement enshrined in our constitution, but also the ÖVP-Green federal government is heating up with the constant promises of further billions in aid for ammunition and weapons to Ukraine cheerfully – without thinking about the many fatalities and without using Austria’s voice even remotely for the settlement of the war. The EU is letting the United States of America pull it more and more into the spiral of escalation, as more and more billions of taxpayers’ money continue to be shoveled into Ukraine without restraint. Here it would be up to Austria to set an example. Because of the unanimity principle, we could take a first important step with a clear veto against the security commitments and put a real damper on the warmongering in Brussels. Unfortunately, the ÖVP does not have the courage. For this reason, our country needs an FPÖ Chancellor, Herbert Kickl, because Nehammer and his war-supporting government have proven that they have no interest in using their voice to end the war quickly. As the only stable force, the FPÖ is the only party vehemently committed to an immediate stop to the war,” the European spokeswoman referred to the veto by Hungary and Poland at the EU summit for forced asylum distribution against the will of the EU states. The fact that the Austrians speak out against the continuation of the war would also be shown by the successful parliamentary petition of the FPÖ entitled “Active peace and neutrality policy instead of warmongering”, which was submitted at the address www.kriegstoppen.at can be signed.

“The fact that the European Union, but especially the black-green federal government, is making the urgently needed about-face and addressing issues such as uncontrolled illegal immigration and securing the EU’s external borders with a ‘Fortress Austria’, the constitutional protection of our cash with a ‘Fortress Cash’ and committed to peace negotiations with the ‘Fortress of Neutrality’ in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, I have given up. Because only with the FPÖ in the Federal Government – led by a People’s Chancellor Kickl – will there be politics by the people for the people again!”. Above all, the urgent issue of uncontrolled new migration of peoples will not receive the attention it urgently needs under Spain’s new EU Council Presidency, Steger doubted because of the recent statements by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez that migration was not one of the priorities of the Spanish Council Presidency , at.
