Next round of TV duels for the National Council elections on ORF: In the first debate, Vice Chancellor Werner Kogler (Greens) and Chancellor Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) meet, followed by Andreas Babler (SPÖ) and Herbert Kickl (FPÖ). We report live!
The fact that Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) and Werner Kogler (Greens) get along as a people has saved the coalition more than once in the past five years. In today’s first TV duel, the two can still be expected to swap their velvet gloves for boxing gloves – and not only when it comes to Green Climate Minister Leonore Gewessler’s solo effort in Brussels…
Nobody wants them, but everybody needs them: Without Andreas Babler and his SPÖ or Herbert Kickl with his FPÖ, no government will be possible after the elections. Only: the two party leaders are seen as red flags for potential coalition partners. One on the left, the other on the right – the duel between the leaders of the two major opposition parties promises a lot of key work in advance. And a real challenge for ORF presenter Susanne Schnabl.
