Vienna (OTS) – Susanne Schnabl will present the “Report” on Tuesday, January 16, 2024, at 9:05 p.m. on ORF 2 with the following topics:
Kickl’s start
The Freedom Party is starting the 2024 election year with a clear lead in the polls. But will the tailwind carry Herbert Kickl all the way to the Chancellery? What does the FPÖ want and can it implement its radical ideas? A report by Martin Pusch and Alexander Sattmann.

Investigations in the election year
Two new investigative committees have now begun at the beginning of the big election year: SPÖ and FPÖ want to examine whether there was special treatment for entrepreneurs close to the ÖVP, such as René Benko, through the Covid-19 financing agency COFAG; In return, the People’s Party wants to devote itself to the “red-blue abuse of power”. The MPs only have a few dates left for the control work until the last meeting on July 1st. Can the U-committees carry out educational work under these circumstances or do they primarily serve as a campaign stage? What is actually possible according to the rules of procedure? And what findings can possibly be expected from the committees? Stefan Daubrawa and Julia Ortner report.

Unlimited deadline solution
The time limit solution has been in the criminal code for 50 years. But the debate about abortion still divides society. Anyone who becomes pregnant unintentionally and wants to have an abortion quickly realizes: Austria is a mess. From Vorarlberg, where the impending gap in care has now been resolved after long discussions with the state hospitals, to Burgenland, where there is no doctor who performs abortions. Why is it still a taboo topic and does it need change, including legally? A report by Miriam Ressi and Andrea Poschmaier.
