Only on closer inspection does a curious detail about the new Federal Chancellor become apparent. The pattern of his ties is always good for a surprise.
The Chancellor has been called Alexander Schallenberg since Monday. In contrast to his predecessor, he completed his law studies, followed by a “Magister iuris” and a “Master of Laws” in Bruges. It also differs optically from its predecessor. That is apparently also wanted, as he said in an interview with “today“reveals.
Gray gentlemen
“Men in work clothes are all gray on gray,” says the top diplomat, almost resignedly. Speaking of gray: The color for “I don’t know” in the “Today” political ranking is extremely low for Alexander Schallenberg at eleven percent. 30 percent have a positive opinion of him, 24 percent a negative one, 35 percent neither have nor. This puts him in second place among the most popular politicians – Sebastian Kurz, on the other hand, crashes completely (14 percent positive, 71 percent negative).
A certain official bonus will certainly still play a role in the ex-foreign minister who has so far remained under the radar for many. On Friday, he turned 13 daily newspapers into the interview marathon to give some insights into his agenda and his character.
Dinosaurs and deer
Back to gray: “The only color we can have on a suit is the ties,” explains Schallenberg. With this piece of material, therefore, the complete creativity in terms of appearance must be lived out. His choice on the photo of the parliament profile caused a stir.
A pattern of small, chrome-blue dinosaurs is emblazoned on the red tie.
An extremely unusual tie, especially for a top politician or even a Federal Chancellor. “I don’t pay that much attention to the pattern,” says the neo-Kanler.
“Today it’s jumping deer, for example (laughs). But I can reassure you: There is no deeper message behind it – certainly not of a political nature. “Elsewhere he said:” As Federal Chancellor you are one more corner in the shop window. “So you can look forward to the next tie election.
