Türkiye election 2025: What the Greens in Graz are planning for Europe and the climate
Graz, Österreich - The political landscape of Austria is under great pressure in view of the current developments. Prominent voices, including EU MP Lena Schilling and the former FPÖ boss Heinz-Christian Strache, discussed the growing strength of the AfD in Germany and its potential effects on domestic politics. Strache critically commented on the CDU under Friedrich Merz and predicted an increase in the AfD votes from 20 to 30 percent in the next federal election if the CDU disappointed voters. Schilling stated that the frustration of many citizens was a driving force for the AfD success, but warned that 80 percent of voters had also decided on other parties. This discussion took place as part of the "Das Duel" format on Krone.tv, where topics such as the stability of the triple coalition and the challenges for Europe were treated.
Greens choose top candidate
At the same time, the Greens met in Graz for their Federal Congress, whose motto "with you for the climate and Europe" also indicated the upcoming EU and National Council elections. Party leader Werner Kogler called for an active commitment to neutrality policy, while at the same time emphasizing the need for a strong and united answer to the growing threats in Europe. In addition, the delegates chose Lena Schilling as an impressive 96.55 percent as the top candidate for the EU election. Schilling, who is known as an environmental activist, explained that her step into politics is a departure for the climate and against right -wing tendencies. At her side, Thomas Waitz completed second place with almost 97 percent, which defines the direction of the Greens for the upcoming elections.These two events illustrate the lively political discussion in Austria, while the Greens want to rely on the climate and integration discourse, while the debates about the strengthening of the AfD and the challenges of the Federal Government do not decrease. The developments within the starting parties and their influence on the upcoming elections remain a central topic in the political debate.
