Chapter 42
“Perhaps he truly wanted to revive the German Confederation.”
Party Whip Herbert Kickel looked at Lin Fan in the live broadcast, as if he saw a rising empire.
As the right-wing positive party of Austria, the predecessor of the Austrian Liberal Party was the Alliance of Independents.
This is a party for A coalition of different interest groups.
After the end of World War II, many party members who believed in Greater Germany, former members of the Rural League, and the younger generation after the war hoped to form a third force in an attempt to challenge the strong positions of the Austrian Social Democratic Party and the People’s Party.
However, due to The members of the alliance were complex, and their ideas could never be consistent. The alliance was in a loose state with people constantly quitting.
Due to repeated defeats in elections and continuous internal strife, the alliance finally disbanded in the 1950s and established the Liberal Party.
In his inaugural speech, the party leader made it clear:”The country’s unwavering faith belongs to the German nation!”
He has repeatedly emphasized the desire of the Austrian Germans to merge with the German Confederation.
At first, the Austrian Liberal Party only had a long-term public support rate of 6%.
Even lower than its predecessor, the”Independent Alliance”.
Later, in eight At the party congress in the early 1900s, the party adopted the liberal political line.
Three years later, although the support rate of the Liberal Party fell to its lowest level in history, it was the first time that party leader Steiger became deputy prime minister and participated in the formal political party. Steiger was committed to developing new voter groups.
In the late 1980s, Haider defeated his opponent Steiger and became the party leader.
Haider promoted the transformation of the Liberal Party into the direction of the National Justice Party.
Previously, the Liberal Party had always been based on knowledge elements as the core.
Haider constantly criticized the internal and external politics of Austria in his propaganda and slogans, making it a great success.
In the 1990s, the Liberal Party grew rapidly!
And in the National Assembly election, it won 20% of the With a vote rate of 6.9, it became the second largest party in the National Assembly.
The then party member Parser became the Deputy Prime Minister of Proudly.
At the beginning of the new century, the Liberal Party also sank for a period of time.
But in the city council election of 10 years, As the candidate of the Liberal Party, Strache received 27% of the votes, far exceeding expectations.
Since then, Strache has led the members of the Liberal Party to overcome obstacles and once again become the second largest party in Congress.
Today, Although the Liberal Party is the opposition party within Pride, it has become a political force that cannot be ignored!
“Leader, this is all the information about the candidate of the Baath Party.”
The assistant handed over a stack of information.
Strache nodded.
He was very interested in this candidate named Lin Fan.
“Lin Fan, where should we go next?”
Paul took a look at the map of the German Federation and found that the distance from Berlin to Anhalt was almost the same as the distance to Mecklenburg.
“Go to Sarah Wagenkricht, a former MP from the Left Party. Lin Fan said leisurely
“What are you doing with her?”
Paul was confused.
He remembered that Sarah had been busy forming a new positive party since she quit the Left Party.
In January this year, Sarah announced the establishment of a party called Reason and Justice
“Of course I went to discuss cooperation with her.”
Lin Fan said with a smile.
In March last year, Sarah organized an anti-war demonstration of tens of thousands of people called Peaceful Resistance at Berlin’s Brandenburg Square.
In her speech, she called on the German Federation to stop paying tribute to Uklan provided weapons, urged all parties to negotiate peace, and accused Schulz’s administration of incompetence.
This massive demonstration not only stirred up waves within Germany, but also attracted widespread attention from political figures around the world.
Last October, Sarah, along with several others, announced that she was leaving the Left Party and planning to form a new party.
In an interview with Bild, she stated that she wanted to end the crazy policies of the Schulz administration and restore social justice. , raise wages, and regulate prices.
These ideas coincide with those of the German Baath Party.
The only difference is that Sarah does not agree to increase military spending.
Lin Fan took Paul to the office of the Reason and Justice Party. Knocked on the door of an office
“Are you… the candidate of the Baath Party?”
“What do you want from me?”
Sarah looked at Lin Fan and Paul with a puzzled look, and unconsciously took a half step back.
“I would like to invite you to join the German National Union!”
“Of course, you can also call it the German National United Front! Lin Fan explained his purpose with a smile.
At present, although the support rate of the German Ennahda Party is not low, in order to ensure that this election is foolproof, he still needs to win over some forces.
“This is impossible. I do not advocate military expansion and preparation for war!”
Sarah shook her head.
Although her views were similar to those of the German Baath Party, she would not agree to military expansion.
“But one of the purposes of our military expansion is to reduce the unemployment rate”
“The jobs brought by military industrial enterprises can provide people with more employment opportunities”
“Secondly, military expansion can ensure the security of our German Federation!”
“Aren’t you anti-war?”
“The best way to avoid war is to prevent the enemy from invading the German Federation!”
Lin Fan only used three or two sentences to connect the expansion of the army with anti-war.
These words made Sarah confused.
She asked Lin Fan to give her a day to think about it.
After Lin Fan left, Sarah was alone Sitting in the office, thinking about whether to join the German Union.
She has a support rate of 25% in Thuringia, but her overall support rate in the German Federation is only 6%.
According to this situation If the development continues, the most she can do is become a federal member.
That night, Sarah watched the video of Lin Fan’s speech again.
Every word Lin Fan said was so shocking.
Early the next morning, Sarah I called Lin Fan and expressed her agreement to join the German National Unity Alliance!
“very good!”
“Wish us happy cooperation. Lin
Fan hung up the phone and looked at Paul beside him with a smile.
“Unexpectedly, she actually agreed.”
Paul was slightly surprised.
After all, Sarah opposed the expansion of the military and prepared for war.
Even Schultz and his wife were considered war madmen in her eyes.
“If she wants to enter the cabinet, the only way is to cooperate with us. Lin Fan said leisurely
“So what’s next for us? Paul asked curiously.
He was quite surprised by the German National Unity Alliance proposed by Lin Fan.
After all, it sounded like an organization with a wider scope.
