The club’s managing director Philip Kucher justifies this by saying that Chancellor Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) doesn’t want to do anything about inflation anyway.
Another motion for a new election is already on the agenda, namely one that has been submitted by the FPÖ for some time. Now the SPÖ is following suit.
In a written statement, Kucher rejects “a months-long party-tactical game by the ÖVP about new election dates.” The resulting standstill in the country is causing too much damage. Instead of fighting inflation, Nehammer gives speeches about what he would like to do in the next coalition with the FPÖ.
Therefore, Kucher says: “The earlier we vote, the better for the country. We want to win the decision against blue-black.” The SPÖ is the only party strong enough to prevent an FPÖ-ÖVP government after the next election.
