Keynote speaker
British ex-Prime Minister Johnson at Salzburg Summit
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected at the Salzach: The Brexit supporter is the keynote speaker at the ÖVP-affiliated Salzburg Summit congress organized by the Federation of Austrian Industries. There is also criticism from the political opposition.
Boris Johnson comes to Salzburg at the end of July. He heads the list of speakers at this year's Salzburg Summit. The conference of the Federation of Austrian Industries is regarded as a platform for discussing the future of Europe as a business location. The discussion will focus on technological, economic and socio-political aspects as well as the geopolitical dimension. The motto of the fifth edition is to think ahead and raise Europe's potential.
The former British prime minister, whose time in office was characterized by Brexit chaos, is a member of the international task force for security and Euro-Atlantic integration in Ukraine. In addition to other speakers such as the President of the European Investment Bank Nadia Calviño, EU Commissioner Johannes Hahn and several ÖVP ministers are expected to attend.
Is Johnson the right man?
There are already critical voices from the political opposition. Sabine Klausner, SPÖ Member of Parliament, is surprised: "Boris Johnson is a proven Brexit hardliner." She questions why he of all people is appearing.
The conference will take place from July 24 to 26, 2024.
