High house: Europe's struggle against threats from east and west!
High house: Europe's struggle against threats from east and west!
On Sunday, April 6, 2025, the ORF parliamentary magazine "Hohes Haus" by Rebekka Salzer will be broadcast in ORF 2 and ORF ON at 12:00 p.m. The program deals with explosive topics that affect Europe, in particular the threats that arise from the east, namely Russia, and the West, among other things through US policy under Donald Trump. Peter Fritz reports on the corresponding consultations in the European Parliament.
A central element of the discussion is the analysis of the professional background of the National Council MPs. A current study shows that these backgrounds do not reflect the professions of the Austrian population. Caroline Picker will examine the representation of various professional groups in the National Council and their importance for the political landscape.
economic turbulence and their consequences
Another topic is the bankruptcy around Signa and René Benko, which is considered the greatest bankruptcy in the history of the Austrian economy. Private foundations have a central role in the company network, which leads to challenges for mass managers and creditors. Caroline Picker will analyze the functionality of private foundations and illuminate the advantages and disadvantages of your access to assets.
cyber security in an international context
At the same time, the discussions about cyber security tighten worldwide. US Defense Minister Pete Hegseth has ordered all cyber missions to be suspended against Russia to promote negotiations with President Vladimir Putin. This measure, part of a re-evaluation of the US operations against Moscow, aims to persuade Putin for talks about Ukraine and a redefinition of relationships with the United States. Trump is pushing for a dialogue to terminate the war in Ukraine, which causes concern in Europe and reinforces the geopolitical tensions.The perception of cyber threats varies greatly. Some experts appreciate the risks of strategic cyber attacks on critical infrastructures as exaggerated, while other blatant default military and civil threats determine. The distinction between offensive and defensive cyber operations is often unclear what the strategic discussion complicated.
Digital armor races
Social science cyber security research examines various aspects such as digital armaments and strategies of deterrent. In democracies, the protection of public institutions and private sector is particularly emphasized, while authoritarian states place more emphasis on information security and control of the information space.
cyber security is not only a technical, but also a legal and social topic. Measures for security online have far -reaching effects on basic rights such as freedom of expression and the right to privacy. It can also be seen that terms in the field of cyber security are often ambiguous, since different actors struggle for sovereignty.
The discussions in the ORF parliamentary magazine and the international cyber security situation illustrate the fine but decisive lines between politics, business and digital security that will have a say in the future of Europe.
