The President of the National Council, Wolfgang Sobotka (ÖVP), encourages anyone facing an abuse of the new provisions to seize the Labor Court. The House of Labor is doing "a very good job," he said at "the press time" of the ORF on Sunday. Sobotka defended at the same time, however, the government decided on the flexibility of the time. The world of work is changing and it must change.
He also showed understanding for the rejection of the United Nations pact on migration by the government. This had their attitude after "careful consideration" taken. One could have a "different opinion" in democracy, of course. Basically, we should see this case but "pragmatic". Austria has already done a lot in the field of migration. The government's fear that the non-binding pact may one day give rise to binding commitments has been understood by the Sobotka. The President of the National Council also stressed that Austria would not reject the document but only abstain.
Sobotka condemned the statements of the FPÖ's Tyrolean mandate, Peter Wurm, who had led the critics in this affair: "The left-wing homeland, who would have liked to see Austria invaded by hordes of country misogynist knights of fortune archaic, frolics ". Such statements must "be rejected and do not correspond to the dignity of the House". If Wurm had said that in Parliament, he would have given him a call to order, Sobotka said.
Sobotka is also lined up on the government side on the issue of the power of decision on the right to stay in Germany. He refused to give his opinion on the countries, as some provincial governors require. This also leaves a "pejorative" after-taste when asylum seekers try for the fourth time to reopen their proceedings, then "demand the right to stay".
Sobotka, very evasive, responded to the current spying case and to the proximity of the FPÖ with Russia. He did not comment on the upheavals with Russia, but spoke of the role of the mediators and the interest of Austria in "maintaining good relations with all states". He advised the "pragmatism" to see these things in a "big continuum".
The former Interior Minister also showed restraint in the BVT case. The relevant facts of the criminal law should be clarified by the prosecutor. He had not seen at the time when he was interior minister who would have formed a state in the BVT state, Sobotka responded to a similar question. It was already known at the time that BAT had to evolve. He does not sit on the committee and wants to "not intervene here so as not to be accused of bias".
On speculation about future positions and a possible candidacy for the post of Federal President, Sobotka did not intervene.
