Former Austrian chancellor Sebastian Kurz attacked the German federal government, which a few days ago has been nothing but history, with merciless words.

"I have a clear opinion about Germany. Thank God this government has collapsed”

Kurz said in an interview with the newspaper Krone, which was seen by the V4na.com . He added that the policy of open borders had failed.

"I really hope that they will finally reconsider their migration issue in Germany, they have learned nothing from 2015 and 2016"

- said the former successful politician , who also criticized the self-determination law, which entered into force in Germany on November 1. “I'm a socially liberal person, but if you can change your gender and change your first name every year, where are we? I would hardly believe it if I didn't know that this is already a reality in Germany," he emphasized.

According to Kurz, the biggest problem for Germany is the ruined economy.

"Energy-intensive industries can no longer produce successfully in Germany, the automotive industry is suffering massively, large companies like BASF are successful worldwide, but are no longer profitable in Germany"

- said Kurz , then added that this has dramatic consequences for Austria and the EU as well. "From this point of view, it's no wonder that this is the most unpopular government of all time," concluded the former chancellor, who, among other things, runs an artificial intelligence and cyber security company in Israel called Dream Security. According to him, a right-wing conservative government would have done better.

Kurz also listed where, in his opinion, the social-democratic-green-liberal government failed: "It allowed energy prices to rise, and then was surprised that life was getting more and more expensive for people. The economy loses its competitiveness and jobs disappear. Second, the government pursued a policy of open borders, which led to an increase in crime and made people feel less and less safe. The socio-political aberrations also had serious consequences".
