ViennaThe comrades had a lot to say to each other. Later than expected, party leader Pamela Rendi-Wagner was able to appear in front of the media on Thursday evening after the meetings of the SPÖ executive committee and the party presidency. "The phase of self-employment must come to an end at one time or another, this end must be here and now," she said.
As a sign, she was able to announce resolutions on the reform of the party and the list for the European elections of May 2019. Thus, after the departure of Christian Kern at the instigation of the SPÖ of Vienna, the statutory reforms were postponed although in a weakened form. Above all, the youth of the party and the individual countries – especially Styria – argued for the rapid implementation of at least part of the reform.
However, the voices of party members in the coalition pacts have clearly changed. The party executive will have more weight. The coalition pact will be presented to the members of the SPÖ to vote only if the executive committee has a majority in the executive committee. At least 20% must participate in order to produce a binding specification for the game.
For content-related questions, five percent of the members can apply for a party question in the future, at ten or more, the result becomes binding. This way of proceeding could be indirectly influenced by the results of the coalition negotiations. However, a coalition pact can not be overturned, as the decision-making powers of the members can only influence the party line, according to the SPÖ.
The initial model – that 70% of SPÖ members had approved in a spring poll – stipulated that coalition agreements should be submitted to all SPÖ members as part of an investigation, if certain any of them wanted it. The result should be binding with a simple majority and a participation of at least 20%.
As for the need for a two-thirds majority to resign after ten years of being able to vote, the original settlement will also be weakened. This only applies to federal lists.
For discussions also badured that the Carinthian SPÖ Luca Kaiser, son of the governor Peter Kaiser, as the main candidate of Carinthia to the sixth place in the federal list for the European election to the desired race. This has not only brought to the party the reproach of nepotism. Luca Kaiser was also accused of a tweet from last January. "Austria is a nazion with a bading minister of the Interior. #Kickl," Kaiser said via Twitter. The FPÖ took the floor because of the wording "of an unacceptable border crossing" and called for the resignation of Luca Kaiser.
Kaiser explained that he had picked up the wording. The tweet was an emotional reaction for Interior Minister Herbert Kickl (FPÖ) and for his statement that he wanted to concentrate refugees in camps.
With a sixth place on the list but that's nothing, Kaiser should now move to the decision of the SPÖ councils, but only to ninth place (hopeless) in the European elections. In 2014, the SPÖ had five seats in the European elections. During the press conference, the SPÖ Federal Director, Thomas Drozda, emphasized that the production of lists was based on the zipper system, according to objective criteria. If Carinthia had chosen a woman as the first candidate, it would have been "a better place to list".
Father Kaiser annoys his son
In addition to the main candidate Andreas Schieder, the European representative Evelyn Regner will be in second place on the list. Third place went to Günther Sidl (Lower Austria), ahead of Bettina Vollath (Styria), Hannes Heide (Upper Austria) and SJ boss Julia Herr in sixth place. The 25-year-old has been nominated for Youth, but she is a year older than Luca Kaiser. The fact that it did not happen to the train was displeased to the south. Four comrades from Carinthia voted against the EU list. The governor of Carinthia, Peter Kaiser, said "a great lack of understanding" about the fact that his son Luca was clbadified at the back. Carinthia deserves a better place on the list, he explained. The list and the reform of the statute will finally be approved at the SPÖ party congress on 24 November in Wels. (Red./APA)
