Integration is a give and take.

A full body veil is hindering integration.

Austria is a very export-oriented country.

It is my assignment to change this country.

I see myself as a go-to person for immigrants.

The right way is not necessarily the easy one.

Any restriction of press freedom is unacceptable.

It's never good to turn to comparisons with Nazis.

Bibi Netanyahu is a friend whom we work well with.

The concerns of Israel have to be taken seriously.

We have a problem with political Islam in Austria.

Many people have placed great hopes in our movement.

There is no doubt that our government is pro-European.

Remembering in an honest way means admitting the truth.

It took Austria a long time to be honest about its past.

We are not always totally happy about how we are portrayed.

We Europeans. We need to show the necessary strength together.

Forcing states to take refugees doesn't take Europe any further.

Freedom of establishment is the freedom to work in all of Europe.

We want Austrian-style Islam, not one controlled by other states.

Taking money in taxes and paying it straight back in subsidies is wrong.

We are not a superpower like the U.S. We are a small and neutral country.

We have to stop illegal immigration in order to ensure security in Europe.

I have always had excellent cooperation with the Jewish community in Austria.

Our historical responsibility does not end at the Austrian or European border.

The shutting out or boycotting of selected media cannot take place in Austria.

Our national focus will be security, with the goal of 'a Europe that protects.'

Doing the right thing is a decision, which in many cases means you stand alone.

Austria is unconditionally committed to the security of Israel and its citizens.

Our companies are active worldwide. I don't detect globalisation angst among them.

The elections would be free and democratic, and any result would have to be accepted.

A Europe without internal borders can only exist if it has functioning external borders.

The European Union is not only a great idea, but it's also an idea we must keep working on.

Lots of migrants live in our country, and they make a significant contribution to our economy.

Political Islam's parallel societies and radicalizing tendencies have no place in our country.

In the E.U., there are always morally superior people who think they have to educate the others.

Luckily, Europe, step by step, recognised that these mass refugee movements to Europe cannot work.

Stopping and returning illegal migrants to their countries of origin must become standard procedure.

Many of my supporters, they want to change the system, and they are not in favor of the establishment.

Those who do not put clear limits on migration will soon start to feel like strangers in their own land.

We will try to raise awareness in Europe for the special situation and the special security needs of Israel.

We strongly condemn all forms of anti-Semitism as well as any form of downplaying or denial of the Holocaust.

One big mistake of many politicians is to have no understanding for the real situation of people in their country.

The mishandling of the migration question in Europe has certainly created a very fertile ground for protest parties.

Migrants who set off for Europe don't want to go to Bulgaria or Hungary. They want to go to Germany, Austria, or Sweden.

We Austrians know that in light of our own history, we have a special responsibility toward Israel and the Jewish people.

We view the protection of Jewish life as a mission. We have a historical responsibility, and this is our duty as a republic.

As Foreign Minister, I worked to strengthen the cooperation with Israel, and now, as Chancellor, I have more opportunities do this.

Whoever boards a boat and tries to enter Europe illegally has ruined his chances of gaining asylum in Europe and will be sent back.

Austria can only be strong if we are not just members of the European Union but also actively help to strengthen the European Union.
