	De Groene 5-2-97: Viktor Klima
		Klima, volgens eigen zeggen 'rood tot in mijn genen', is een mirakel van behendigheid en overtuigingskracht.
		OOK IN DIT opzicht lijkt Vranitzky in Klima een waardig opvolger te hebben gevonden.
		Klima is zich echter in de loop der daarop volgende jaren 'antifascist' blijven noemen, wat is Oostenrijk, anders dan in bijvoorbeeld Nederland, geen inhoudsloze formulering is, gegeven het hoge percentage fascisten onder de bevolking.

	Viktor Klima - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although Klima was then unknown to the majority of Austrians, in 1992 Federal Chancellor Franz Vranitzky made him Minister of Transportation and Nationalised Industry, a position Klima held till 1996, when he became Minister of Finance for a year.
		Probably influenced by other European leaders such as Tony Blair, under Klima's premiership the Austrian Social Democrats altogether renounced their allegiance to Marxism and thus to their own political roots and very clearly continued their move from the political left towards the centre.
		Following the elections of 1999, Viktor Klima stepped down in February 2000 and was succeeded by Schüssel, who formed a coalition government with the Freedom Party.

		Klima expressed his preference for a renewal of the current "grand coalition" between SPO and the conservative Austrian People's Party (OVP).
		Were this option to prove impossible, Klima said he would then suggest to President Thomas Klestil the formation of a SPO-led minority government, which would also include "a wide range" of non-political experts - a solution he sees as "not the goal, but better than new elections".
		Klima finally expressed his concern about the speed of the negotiations, and stated his belief that the current interim government was incompetent to make important decisions, most crucially as far as the state budget is concerned.
