The FPÖ was angry on Friday at the “Licht ins Dunkel” gala on Wednesday evening – since members of the federal government would have celebrated there in the middle of lockdown without a mask or distance and “without genius”, as the Viennese party leader Dominik Nepp criticized in a press conference . The ORF event was a “symbol of planting,” he said. According to Nepp, Federal Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg (ÖVP) is ready to resign.
“First comes the food, then the morale,” commented the Viennese boss blue of the event. Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen was also there, although he belongs to the risk group in terms of age and lifestyle. When it comes to his own party desires, the Federal President does not play the moral role model, criticized Nepp.
The FPÖ presented photos of the event, which, according to Nepp, were taken at the subsequent “aftershow party” – which was also said to have been toasted with sparkling wine. Since the Chancellor could also be seen in a picture, Nepp said: “Schallenberg should actually resign.”
The fact that the 2G rule applied at the gala and that a corona test was also necessary does not change the hypocrisy, according to the FPÖ boss in Vienna. Because the audience in front of the television sets is “locked up” at home and is frustrated by the police on the way to work, complain the Freedom Party. If the federal government is so “tattered” and celebrates the celebration in front of an audience of millions, then one shouldn’t be surprised if people take to the streets – or have a beer in the back rooms of bars.
The FPÖ was against the corona lockdown, Nepp affirmed. That is why one also criticizes the government’s “hypocrisy” shown at the gala.
