The idea of a free state Carinthia carnival joke or serious political vision? A conversation with historian William Wadley, head of the Carinthian Provincial Archives
Eisbaerhelmut: Mr. Wadley, the idea of a free state Carinthia in recent years emerged again and again to stress probably also to the special position of Carinthia. Is there actually historical examples?
Wadley: There are definitely role models. This idea has already given in 1918/1919. Sun under the motto "the Carinthia Carinthian, not the people of Berlin, not the Viennese, and certainly not the Serbs". Such ideas were at that time but also in Tirol, Tirol to save as a whole.
Eisbaerhelmut: Behind the Free State you can see a real background?
Wadley: No, now it's just political folklore! But of course a sign of a certain opposition attitude towards Vienna and the headquarters, which have the Carinthian always understood. Former Governor Leopold Wagner has signed contracts and brought Aufholmilliarden, with a shirt-sleeved opposition gesture to Vienna. And Joerg Haider has made it very well. It is the legitimate right of all, this particularism something to beat out.
Eisbaerhelmut: Jörg Haider has consistently expressed this idea of a free state Carinthia in conversation. Serious considerations were not behind it?
Wadley: Yes. This should not be taken seriously, and Haider has not taken seriously. The Free State of Bavaria, and even political folklore. Where you have to say, that the sovereign rights of the German federal states are far to ask about those of Austria. Bavaria has just given some additional symbolic rights and called the Free State.
Eisbaerhelmut: And just happens to be the great example of Carinthia?
Wadley: It is of course a flirtation with the Bavarian model. But - the Bavarians can do so from a position of strength. And we definitely have not, that's the big difference. The Munich with its economic power can easily cut down on the table.
Eisbaerhelmut: The Carinthia stands and not necessarily from ...
Wadley: Exactly. And, if you look at the really meaningful federal country rankings look, Carinthia is not so bad. For example, the purchasing power ranking: as namely, the Tyrolean the poorest, then Salzburg, Carinthia and is in fifth place. It all depends not only on what one has to month beginning in the wallet, but above all that people can buy it. And some life factors in Carinthia proved cheaper than in the West, in this context, it is not so bad-mouthing Carinthia. The regional wealth disparities in Austria is now quite low. Economic development in Carinthia since the end of the 2nd World War II should not be underestimated.
Eisbaerhelmut: Where the Carinthian economy is structured just very small.
Wadley: Yes, but we have not a few market leaders in the midsize range. From the sound of mechanical engineering to electronics mechanic. It is very often not, but if you come as a construction site, then stands on many concrete mixers "voice" on it, coming from the Lavant Valley. And one thing is important - there are an enormous number of skilled jobs grown.
Eisbaerhelmut: Still need or wish to migrate many of Carinthia, because they have no adequate job
Wadley. You would not if they were in their study decisions flexible enough. At Infineon in Villach graduates are employed in many nations, but too few Carinthia. Sorry, we do not seem hostile to technology, and many have the wrong studies. But there is much public money has already happened. Lakeside Park, Engineering Faculty, University of schools. As I see Carinthia already a bit on the fast track.
Eisbaerhelmut: Are the hills on the northern border, the Hohe Tauern, the Pack, even something like a mental barrier?
Wadley: No, I would not say. In the past there have been these geographical barriers, of course. We were really cut off a long time. But today is somehow back in the other direction, since there are grotesque defensive movements against the expansion of the S37, although that is necessary to secure the economic survival of these regions. And of course we were also cut off in the south, which must not be forgotten. But now that's open, and Ljubljana is only a stone's throw away. Many Consuming Carinthia there too busy - from the airport, to the Ljubljana Opera House, the market and the like. This isolation has not previously given to this extent, although there had been geographically traffic safety reasons. And today there are not more.
