Austria is voting today – and for the first time a right-wing populist, Herbert Kickl, could emerge as the winner. However, he is still far from being chancellor.
It was just an inconspicuous report, and yet the whole of Austria knows the deeper meaning of the personality announced in it: Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen, 80, appointed two top lawyers as advisors a few days before the parliamentary elections. A professor of constitutional and administrative law as well as the acting vice-president of the European Court of Human Rights will be at his side when it comes to swearing in a new government.
