People and Elite: The shrill debate about populism and society

In the coming days, Vienna will become a center for exciting political and cultural events. On Monday, January 20, 2025, the "Awesome" series will continue in the Bruno Kreisky Forum. From 7:00 p.m., political scientist Kolja Möller and sociologist Carina Altreiter will discuss "people and elite - a social theory of populism".

Another highlight of the week takes place on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, when a press conference with the SPÖ-EU MP Andreas Schieder takes place at 9.45 a.m. on the occasion of the plenary session of the European Parliament (20 to 24 January). In addition, current topics of the SPÖ will be dealt with in the National Council on Wednesday, January 22nd. Particularly noteworthy is the celebration of Bruno Kreiskys 114th birthday on Wednesday evening, where various experts, led by SPÖ federal party chairman Andreas Babler, will discuss the strategies of social democracy in the context of right-wing populism. This event is already fully booked, such as ots.at 指出。
