Read Rainer Nowak’s analysis of how SPÖ leader Andreas Babler fared in the penultimate ORF election duel on Monday evening – and what the biggest surprise of that rainy evening was.
Rain in the Salzkammergut is considered a classic. For Andreas Babler, the unlucky one in the 2024 election campaign, the sun and the accompanying sunset would have been a small miracle.
SPÖ leadership candidate Babler has had to go through a lot in recent weeks: Vienna’s health councillor Peter Hacker thought thousands of euros in social assistance for Syrian refugee families was normal, but not that these children would otherwise have to wear the clothes of their brothers and sisters (“Middle Ages”). Then the mayor of Linz, Klaus Luger, had to resign for lying and manipulating a position. As a highlight, the second chairwoman of the National Council and the most important woman in the party, Doris Bures, took stock of the creation and content of Babler’s election programme (“unseriousness”). An interview with Martin Thür in Traunsee sounds like a wellness treatment. Just inside.
