Austria in transition: the new government and the voice of the citizens!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - Austria has a new coalition after months of political struggles and over 150 days without government. On Tuesday, March 11, 2025, the "Bürgeranwalt" program with Peter Resetarits will get the tension in the population in a nutshell. The ORF team travels the country to find out what expectations and needs the citizens have to the new government. The mood is recorded with urgent personal experiences and emotional conversations and the urgency sensation of the population is made clear, especially in times of economic and social challenges.

Resetarits and his team hear from the citizens across the country that they see a clear need for action and demand decisions from politics. "Where is the hat burning?" And "What do people demand?" are central questions that this search for traces raises. The citizens complain and are frustrated by the lack of solutions for pressing problems. Peter Beyer, who works with his colleagues from the parliamentary group in the German Bundestag on a wide variety of topics that range from regional interests to community solutions, provides further insights into the federal political negotiations.

You want to see concrete suggestions and measures to cope with the challenges of everyday life.

That is why it will be crucial for the new government to regain the trust of the citizens through concrete actions and to present solutions to the pressing questions of how to develop resetarises and its team in their show. In this atmospheric opening trip in search of the wishes of the Austrians, the need for immediate action is inevitably pushed into the foreground. This discussion forms an essential basis for the future of politics in Austria, which is characterized by hunger for changes.
