The tone gets rougher – Kogler vs. Nehammer: Start of the pre-election campaign

Date:

Kogler vs. Nehammer: The tone in the coalition is getting rougher. The blockades are increasing, election campaigns are slowly getting underway. Incidentally, Werner Kogler seems to have been chosen as the top candidate of the Green Party instead of Climate Protection Minister Leonore Gewessler.

Werner Kogler is known for not being the tough, but rather the relaxed type of politician. However, in the “Krone” interview, the Green Vice Chancellor pulled the leather off well. He spoke of a blockade by the ÖVP on the rent brake. He doesn’t like Karl Nehammer’s plans for the e-fuel combustion engine. There was also a broad side against the governor of Lower Austria, Johanna Mikl-Leitner.

Gewessler’s content is not broad enough
Even if the coalition parties are always pushing for the government to stay until autumn 2024, after the Chancellor’s speech and Kogler’s interview, one thing is certain: the 2024 primary campaign has long since begun. Another indication: Kogler first explained that he wants to enter the race in 2024 as a top candidate. Until recently, Environment Secretary Leonore Gewessler was considered the next green candidate. “Thematically, however, it is not broad enough. It mainly lacks economic knowledge,” explains political adviser Thomas Hofer.

Chancellor in the ORF still diplomatic
The Chancellor responded diplomatically to the openly expressed dissonances in the ORF “Press Hour”: “We are two completely different parties. I don’t expect Werner Kogler to say I’m voting for Nehammer.”

The strategy – continuing the coalition while entering the election campaign at the same time – is a tightrope walk. “It is essential that projects are still being processed and not just blocked,” says Hofer. The Freedom of Information Act should be such a project. It’s a long time ago. Kogler and State Secretary Karoline Edtstadler would be in the final. The climate law, on the other hand, is on hold. Nothing moves in the creation of a federal attorney general. It will be interesting to see how long the tightrope will last.
