FPÖ strategy for hackers “disgusting” – wien.ORF.at

The federal government’s step-by-step plan is a compromise, said Hacker in the “Vienna today” interview. “I believe that we are not at the end of the flagpole of the measures that we need. But it is a good start. ”It is also important that there are uniform rules throughout Austria.

When asked whether tougher measures will not be announced until after the election in Upper Austria, the City Councilor for Health says: “You somehow get the feeling that consideration for an election campaign is particularly important.”

Stricter rules possible in Vienna

The step-by-step plan announced on Wednesday will not come into force until mid-September. Hacker expects that “we will be in phase two.” Vienna continues to observe the CoV camps and can imagine tightening it alone – as in the summer. Hacker: “If we have the feeling that we need further measures, then it cannot be ruled out that we will take special, cautious measures again in Vienna.”

Vaccinated persons also affected by measures

According to the ÖVP, there should be no more drastic measures for vaccinated people. Hacker agrees that you have to make differences. “But this fourth wave will not pass without a trace for the vaccinated either. We will be directly affected and indirectly affected. “

Vaccinated people can also become infected and infect others. “The vaccination primarily protects against the serious illness. That is the main goal of this vaccination. We can already see it in the hospital, so if you still have doubts, you can no longer doubt, because the facts are so unmistakably clear that the vaccination has an excellent effect. “

Vaccination “not a private matter”

In order to motivate even more people to vaccinate, according to Hacker, what is needed above all is a rejection that everything is now a private matter. “Vaccination is an act that I do for myself so that I can protect myself. But it is also an act of solidarity so that I cannot infect anyone else. “

For hackers it is incomprehensible why there are no Austria-wide campaigns by the federal government. “That was actually hip, agreed and agreed. And for whatever reason, the federal government has not taken any measures to advertise nationwide. “

It is surprising that the government, “which is usually not that bad when it comes to campaigning, does not develop any ideas at all on this issue, on the contrary, where you have the feeling that your hands are quite relaxed.”

Police “must” control

When asked who should control the FFP2 mask requirement for unvaccinated people in retail, Hacker said: “Of course, the police have a very, very intensive support role here. It is clearly anchored in law that the executive branch has to support the health authorities in the control measures, not can, but must. “

FPÖ strategy “unheard of and disgusting”

Due to the measures, the FPÖ speaks, among other things, of a “hunt for unvaccinated people”. Hacker is “stunned by the irresponsibility of the communication strategists in the FPÖ” and speaks of nonsense. “It’s irresponsible what you do. You are playing with people’s health. They play with the health of those who trust them. (…) Especially when you know that quite a few of the top officials have already been affected themselves and have gone unrestrainedly vaccinated and have themselves tested regularly. I find that really unheard of and actually disgusting. “

Pressure is not an educational tool

Hacker thinks it – keyword 1-G – not wise to want to put pressure on people. “We always talk about drug delivery and it’s very legitimate to be skeptical.” Hacker doesn’t think pressure is an appropriate tool for education and persuasion.

“It just needs to be made clear that people have to understand that if we are in a pandemic, that there must be measures that differentiate between people who take a high risk and those who take a low risk.” Go with the unvaccinated it is not about exerting pressure, but “still about educating and promoting this act of solidarity.”
