On June 25th at 9:05 p.m. on ORF 2 and on ORF ON; Guest in the studio: SPÖ club chairman Philip Kucher
Vienna (OTS) – Susanne Schnabl will present the “Report” on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, at 9:05 p.m. on ORF 2 and on ORF ON with the following topics:
SPÖ is looking for a migration line
After the setback in the EU elections, the SPÖ wants to sharpen its profile on the issue of asylum and migration. A sensitive topic – after all, the positions are sometimes far apart. New trench warfare is feared. It is still unclear whether the SPÖ will find new positions or whether the communication will just be fine-tuned. Martin Pusch and Stefan Daubrawa examine the question of why the social democrats are having so much trouble with this issue.

Overburdened healthcare system
Longer waiting times in doctors’ offices mean that more and more patients go to the hospital outpatient departments, which are therefore overloaded. Upstream ordinations or first aid services should help ensure that only real emergencies come to the outpatient clinics. And many cash register positions in the private practice sector are unfilled, as doctors are increasingly choosing to practice as a doctor of their own. The Medical Association would therefore like to make working conditions in the public system more attractive, while the Vienna City Council for Health is calling for a ban on secondary employment for hospital doctors. Laura Franz and Helga Lazar report.
Scientists versus swearers
In Austria, Corona is far from over – at least as an election campaign issue. The electoral successes of those parties that have taken up vaccination skepticism speak for themselves. The FPÖ MP Gerald Hauser, author of the controversial book “And the Schwurbler were right”, is now entering the EU Parliament for the Freedom Party. Sociologist Alexander Bogner from the Academy of Sciences believes that we could be further along in dealing with the pandemic if the FPÖ did not use people’s dissatisfaction for its party political purposes. Meanwhile, infectiologist Florian Thalhammer from the Vienna General Hospital is observing a worrying trend: many of his colleagues no longer speak out publicly because they have also been personally threatened and silenced.
