FPÖ Sees Burgenland at a "Turning Point" Before the State Election
"We are driving at high speed into a dead end and now need to turn around to get Burgenland back on a good path," said Norbert Hofer (FPÖ). He plans to achieve this, among other things, with a Burgenland convention and a cash check after the state election.
FPÖ Wants to Restructure the State Holding in Burgenland After the State Election
If he gets into the state government, Hofer wants to discuss with experts at a convention how Burgenland could continue to develop. In addition, more leading companies should settle in the country and people should be able to freely decide where and by whom they want to be cared for. The shortage of staff in health professions should be counteracted by addressing these more intensively in schools, according to Hofer.
Financially, state party leader Alexander Petschnig sees Burgenland on a "crash course". The Freedom Party therefore wants a cash check in order to have concrete and up-to-date figures available by January 19th. The state holding is to be restructured - it consists of "dozens of companies that have been developed during this period and no one knows what for", said Petschnig. FPÖ club chairman Johann Tschürtz wants his security partners, who were abolished by the SPÖ after the end of Red-Blue, back.
In return, SPÖ club chairman Roland Fürst accused Hofer of being more interested in offices than in the country and of spending "most of his time with possible coalition games after the state election" - specifically: "how he can be elected governor with the help of the Sagartz-ÖVP (top candidate Christian Sagartz, note)."
