Elephant round “Krone” – Carinthian election: friendly in tone, hard to the point

Five men and a woman compete for seats in the state parliament in Carinthia. In terms of content, the green top candidate Olga Voglauer was sometimes alone in the elephant round “Krone” at PULS 24. She was the only one who voted against the preservation of Klagenfurt Airport and spoke unconditionally in favor of wind turbines. “The airport is a dead horse and you want to ride it steadfastly and fly with it,” Voglauer said in the direction of the SPÖ and ÖVP.

Climate change was the biggest topic of the day. The need for climate protection was beyond dispute with everyone, including the FPÖ. However, their top candidate, Erwin Angerer, surprised them with the statement that wind turbines are not so good because they come from China.

In terms of content, he most often rubbed against his fiercest candidate Gerhard Köfer from the Carinthian team. This also primarily attacked the FPÖ. His most notable action, however, was holding up the “No” sign on the subject of gender before even asking a question.

Also nice words to the other party
Governor Peter Kaiser was trying to “get a little above things,” as “Krone” editor-in-chief Klaus Herrmann put it in the next round of analysis. In general, the six candidates were friendly to each other, said Carinthian political scientist Kathrin Stainer-Hämmerle. All six also managed to say something nice about each other. Angerer loves the green Voglauer when she feeds the animals on her farm.

NEOS candidate Janos Juvan stood a bit to the side and rolled out typically pink topics such as education.
