The plan is to work until the end of the legislative period, said Nehammer in the ZiB2 interview on Thursday evening. He was unimpressed by poor survey data and the threat of a poor performance in the EU elections. “I will definitely be the ÖVP’s top candidate,” he emphasized.

He didn’t say who would be the ÖVP’s top candidate in the EU elections in June, but “I already know.” He stuck to his rejection of a coalition with the FPÖ as long as Herbert Kickl had responsibility there.
Nehammer defended Austria’s anti-inflation policy despite poor values in international comparison, but purchasing power in this country is high.
He wanted to name mistakes in the fight against corona, but not apologize. He explained that everything was done with the aim of saving human lives.
