In view of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine and increasing nuclear threats, SPÖ leader and Vice Chancellor Andreas Babler warned on Tuesday in a statement against an escalation of the nuclear arms race.
In a time of global uncertainty and new geopolitical tensions, the threat from nuclear weapons is as real as it has not been for decades, Babler reminded.
Disarmament as a Political Duty
It is the international responsibility of all states to actively stand for peace and against nuclear threats. The SPÖ leader advocated for political dialogue, diplomacy, and compromises: "We all have the responsibility to ensure that something like this never happens again."
SPÖ federal manager Klaus Seltenheim also called for decisive steps against nuclear threats. "A nuclear-weapon-free world must no longer be a declaration of intent, but must finally become reality," he stated. The existence of more than 12,000 warheads, which are sometimes openly threatened with, is a serious danger to humanity. Disarmament and peaceful conflict resolution are therefore central political tasks.
