“A serious debate regarding Austria's neutrality would be useful for [Austria] to clarify what serves its national interests in a better way. A preliminary question would be to explore if all the international organisations would stay in Vienna if Austria would join NATO.”

“Generally speaking, the popularity of neutrality in Austria is much more based on myth and legend than informed opinion. The general public associates neutrality very strongly with economic prosperity and security, both of which Austria enjoyed an abundance of over the past 60-70 years.”

“Now they are into full lockdown and clearly the reason for this is because the incidence of COVID-19 in many parts of Austria is now in four digits - more than 1,000 cases per 100,000 people. That is a very considerable number and for many politicians in Austria right now, it is too much.”

“It's our job as the government of Austria to protect the people. Therefore we decided that starting Monday … there will be a lockdown for the unvaccinated. With the vaccination rates as they are, we will stay stuck in a vicious cycle of infections. The shamefully low uptake in vaccination had to be forced upwards.”

“There are clues that point to so-called bazaars where additional agreements between member states and pharmaceutical companies were made. Malta will receive three times as many doses per capita as Bulgaria until the end of July. The Netherlands would not only receive more doses of vaccine per capita until the end of June than Germany, but almost twice as many as Croatia. This is in clear contradiction to the political goals of the EU.”

“This action - this bully boy action - that they've undertaken in Australia will I think ignite a desire to go further amongst legislators around the world. I think they're almost using Australia as a test of strength for global democracies as to whether or not they wish to impose restrictions on the way in which they do business. So, we're all behind Australia in my view.”
