On April 30th at 9:05 p.m. on ORF 2; Guest in the studio: SPÖ leader Andreas Babler
Vienna (OTS) – Susanne Schnabl will present the “Report” on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, at 9:05 p.m. on ORF 2 with the following topics:
Bablers Plan
The SPÖ is starting the election campaigns under its chairman Andreas Babler with 24 ideas, some of them well-known but also new. 100 experts have drawn up this paper, which can also be understood as an election program, over the past few months. It was presented to the comrades at the weekend at the Federal Party Council, a small party conference. Andreas Babler has also been confirmed as the top candidate for the National Council election in the fall. But will the SPÖ manage to achieve the hoped-for upswing in the polls? An analysis by Martin Pusch and Alexander Sattmann.
SPÖ leader Andreas Babler is live in the studio.
Combustion engines against electric cars in the EU election campaign
Recently, the electric car market has experienced severe turbulence. A beacon of hope for the domestic car cluster was Fisker, the US electric SUV with a Norwegian design that was produced by Magna Steyr in Graz. It is currently on the verge of extinction – 500 jobs are in jeopardy. Setting the course for future mobility is providing fuel for the EU election campaign, not least because EU Commission President Von der Leyen’s parliamentary group colleagues are increasingly insisting on maintaining the internal combustion engine. The positions of the domestic EU top candidates Reinhold Lopatka from the ÖVP and Lena Schilling from the Greens are like night and day. She is for the end of the combustion engine, he is against it. Sabina Riedl and Miriam Ressi ask what lies ahead for consumers and how we can prevent a total loss for manufacturers and domestic producers.
Innsbruck election: special case or lesson?
Expelled from the ÖVP, now mayor of Innsbruck:
Johannes Anzengruber prevailed in the runoff election against incumbent Georg Willi (Greens). It is difficult to draw conclusions from the local phenomenon to the federal government – but can lessons be learned from this for the big election loser ÖVP? After Graz and Salzburg, Innsbruck is another symptom of the People’s Party’s city problem. A look at the Tyrolean state capital also shows that the party landscape is becoming more colorful. 13 lists took part in the election in Innsbruck, eight made it into the local council. Would such a constellation also be conceivable at the federal level? Jürgen Klatzer and Miriam Ressi did research.
