Duels to read up on
Ticker election duels
The next TV duels for the National Council elections on ORF are over. Vice-Chancellor Werner Kogler (The Greens) and Chancellor Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) parted as they had governed: with major differences in content, but objectively and politely. Andreas Babler (SPÖ) and Herbert Kickl (FPÖ) were more heated - we have the ticker for you to read!
In their duel on Friday evening, Nehammer and Kogler emphasized what divides them and what unites them. Climate protection was one of the major dividing lines, but Nehammer emphasized Turkish-Green changes in this area right at the beginning. "We have tackled major projects: the eco-social tax reform, CO2 pricing and massive support for photovoltaics." There is no agreement on the Climate Protection Act.
The Chancellor and his Vice-Chancellor were very calm in their discussions, there was little emotion. Each stuck to their messages and both praised their work at the end. "A great deal has been achieved," said Kogler, for example.
Late escalation in red-blue
No one wants them, but everyone needs them: without Andreas Babler and his SPÖ or Herbert Kickl and his FPÖ, no government will be possible after the election. However, the two party leaders are considered red rags by their potential coalition partners, one on the left, the other on the right. The duel between the leaders of the two major opposition parties promised a lot of tinder in advance and a real challenge for ORF presenter Susanne Schnabl.
For long stretches, things were quiet at first, almost at a standstill. Strikingly, instead of attacking Babler and the SPÖ, Kickl seemed to be courting the ÖVP as a partner. Towards the end, however, things got heated, and the duel became insinuating and personal: Babler showed a list of "individual cases" of convictions of FPÖ officials (see ticker entry below) and sees the FPÖ as a "danger to democracy" even without Kickl. Kickl to Babler: "You are the danger, the anti-democrat and fascist."
