Hier ist das Interview. Ich danke allen Kandidaten für die Teilnahme am Interview!


What are your plans to improve the economy of eAustria?
Was sind deine Pläne, um die Wirtschaft von eÖsterreich zu verbessern?

Alfred Ball:
a strong financial minister

MachtGeil:
I plan to improve the economy through a socialisation program. We will create state controlled companies or buy existing ones to increase the control on the free market. With that the economical crisis will have less influence on the eAustrian market.

Oraizan:
Bring in more people and review the value of the ATS to see if we can push it higher or lower to help the economy

Rangeley:
Ultimately with more active citizens, the economy will improve. The Ministry of Education will be key in this, helping new citizens out, and hopefully, helping them stick around and stay a part of the community.



How do you plan to improve the very bad job market in the country?
Wie willst du den schlechten Arbeitsmarkt im Land verbesern?

Alfred Ball:
National Front Austria has already been improving this, more so then any other party.

MachtGeil:
Also through state controlled companies.

Oraizan:
See the above. With a slight change in the currency levels it may be possible to have the wages more spread out

Rangeley:
This is very related to the economy itself. If more people are active, the increased demand will help more companies stay afloat and therefore provide jobs.



Will you start any war, if you become president?
Wirst du einen Krieg beginnen, wenn du Präsident wirst?

Alfred Ball:
No

MachtGeil:
Maybe, depends on the situation
M
Oraizan:
Maybe, depends on the situation

Rangeley:
No




Will you strengthen the regions (infrastructure, new hospital)? And how?
Wirst du Regionen stärken (Infrastruktur, neue Krankenhäuser)? Und wie?

Alfred Ball:
No, new hositals are not needed in the slightest whe need more citizens to even make this worthwhile a defense system however I am very openminded too. (Sorry wolfi)

MachtGeil:
In my opinion only q5 hospitals make sense. We already have one which should be enough for us. eAustria has only a small population and I dont think we could afford to buy another one.

Oraizan:
I believe that small countries only need one hospital, so I don't see us really needing much more.

Rangeley:
With a very small budget, these sorts of improvements are far down on the list of priorities. One Q5 hospital is really all we need at this point.



Which diplomatic actions do you plan as president?
Welche diplomatischen Schritte wirst du als Präsident unternehmen?

Alfred Ball:
Improving countries with all imieadte neighbors, allied nations and ex-PEACE GC nations as well as other alliaces.

MachtGeil:
We should stay neutral and have the best possible relations to our neighbours. Its important that we dont provoke an attack. I think that some of the western european states would be good partners for an mpp.

Oraizan:
Reinforce the trust with our neighbors.

Rangeley:
I would continue the work of the past two months - building relationships with nations across the spectrum, and the world. We benefit from being in good standing in the world community.



Why should a cititzen of eAustria vote for you as president?
Wieso sollte ein Bürger von eÖsterreich für sich als Präsident stimmen?

Alfred Ball:
We care for the commen eAustrian, we have taken numerous steps to help them out, with high paying jobs starting out, we sacrificed the most of any parties to defend Burgenland. We armed our nations attack on the Hungarian occupations in Slovakia. We have proven we are for the people countless times.

MachtGeil:
If they dont like the fascists and nationalists propaganda and agitation in our country. If they believe that the current economical situation can get better through more influence of the state on the free market then I am the right person for them.

Oraizan:
I'm here for Austria to make it better, as my opponent is. Being modest, we both have the same goals in mind.

Rangeley:
All I can ask is that citizens cast the vote for the candidate they feel is best.



Do you have any comments on your opponents?
Hast du irgendwelche Kommentar zu den Gegenkandidaten?

Alfred Ball:
The only comment worthy of calling an opponet is Rangeley and I wish him good luck. There is no doubt in my mind he has lead and he has lead well but it is in eAustria best interest for a new face and a new change. However I do promise to follow his steps in the new PEACE GC community given if they have our nations best interest in mind. I also plan to follow on peace with Hungary as he has been trying to do.

MachtGeil:
I personally wouldnt vote for a candidate who is always insulting others and has a very immature behaviour. The contact I had with Rangeley on the other side was fairly good i believe and he seems to be a guy who you can argue with, though I think that I could do better.

Oraizan:
As I said, I like Rangeley. I have been his friend for a long time, even before I moved to Austria. There is nothing else to say, or rather, comment. Macht I don't know very well, so there isn't much to say about him either.

Rangeley:
I wish them well in this election.



What is your vision (far or near) of eAustria future?
Was ist deine Vision (nah oder fern) für die Zukunft von eÖsterreich?

Alfred Ball:
I wish to unify Austria, we are very much divded with politics, there are very many politicians here that only deal in partisanship. We want to try and bridge these gaps and compromise 100% on all issues.

MachtGeil:
I dream of a socialist eAustrian state with a strong military to keep it safe and to help allies. An eAustria where everyone is welcomed and not insulted by extremists. An eAustria where the conomy is stable and a maximum of possibilities is given to the population.

Oraizan:
Austria is a very small country. I wouldn't want Austria to be a major power (how many countries do you like that are major powers?) but I would like to see it become more of a medium sized country, with a much more active population and more IRL Austrians.

Rangeley:
A diverse and open Austria, where people feel comfortable speaking their minds - and an Austria that acts with independence, and with conscience in foreign affairs.



Should eAustria stay as a member/become a member of any alliance (EDEN, PEACE, ...)?
Soll eÖsterreich ein die Mitgliedschaft in einer Allianz beenden oder eine neu anstreben (EDEN, PEACE, ...)?

Alfred Ball:
As of now I wish to stay with PEACE GC, they are back to there founding

MachtGeil:
No. EDEN would be dangerous as it would provoke our neighbour hungary to attack us and PEACE is actually not existing anymore.

Oraizan:
Stay in PEACE, maybe observer nation to Sol. If you can, it never hurts to be active in as many world politics as possible.

Rangeley:
I believe remaining in PEACE is the best option, though good relations with all nations should be our goal.



Do you want to make any final statement?
Hast du irgendeine Schlussbemerkung?

Alfred Ball:
I urge you to vote eAustrians for the choice that has your interests in mind and will follow through for your well being as we have done time and time again.

MachtGeil:
I know that I am very new to this country and many think that im unsuited for this job. I may not have much chances in this election but I wont give up without a fight. Every vote for me is a step forward on the road to a better future.

Oraizan:
Use your vote on who you want to, and who YOU think will represent you better on the stage, not just who your party leader tells you to vote.

Rangeley:
Thanks for asking these questions!




Thank you!
