This incident fell into a context in which the FPÖ took an aggressive rhetoric during the government presentation. Belakowitsch accused the government in its speech "Rotzfreche Lies", especially with regard to statements by the Minister of Economy Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer (ÖVP). SPÖ MP Julia Herr was compelled to correct Belakovich and to point out the future responsibility of Korinna Schumann for working matters. Further controversy also followed; Belakovich accused ÖVP club chairman August Wöginger, with regard to the increase in health insurance contributions for pensioners "Rotzfrech". Wöginger countered with a document that confirmed the premium increase from May 1st. Class = "Source_2"> Puls24.at
political communication in focus
The incident and the subsequent discussions take a light on the challenges in political communication, which plays a central role in today's world. The area of political communication research deals with the way communications arise and perceived on socio -political issues. At institutions such as the Institute for Publicistics and Communication Science, it is analyzed how this communication influences political cognitions, emotions and behaviors both on micro and macro level. Above all, the change in the media landscapes and the use of social media by political actors are decisive factors that significantly shape the understanding of communication in democracies. univie.ac.at
In view of the current political situation in Austria, it becomes clear that emotions and provocative statements are often used as strategies to mobilize public opinion. The reactions to the interjection of Belakovich show how sensitive political discourses are and what role they play in the perception of social problems.| Details | |
