Werner Faymann wants to become Austrias new chancellor
Yesterday evening the Socialdemocratic chairman Werner Faymann declared on Austrian TV, that he wants to be the new chancellor of Austria.
He also confirmed that he don’t want to create a coalition with the Freedom Party. In cases of the European Union, Faymann promise to allow an “open discussion”.
The new hope of Austrias Socialdemocrats wants to have national referendums at some future decisions of the European Union.
Faymann stands against “mudslinging in politics” and an “abusive language”. His declared goal is to bring the Socialdemocrats on the top.
“If we are going to be the party with an overwhelming majority after the election, the Peoples Party must be realistic enough to allow some changes in their politics”, he says.
Faymann is known as incurable optimist, and someone who wants to build bridges between the humans, except for members of the Freedom Party.
