Austria’s past and future leader better hope the third time’s the charm
Critics of Kurz’s decision to get into bed with the far-right in the first place felt vindicated; the scandal exposed not only the depth of the corruption in the Freedom Party but also the young chancellor’s naivety.
The fallout from the Ibiza affair tested the country’s constitutional order like no other event since the country’s political rebirth in 1945. With the Freedom Party discredited and the Social Democrats in disarray after suffering heavy losses in the election, the only viable option was a tie-up between Kurz’s People’s Party and the Greens.
While the Greens, who have been buoyed by growing public concern over climate change, will have broad control over Austria’s environmental policy according to the coalition deal, they will have almost no say over asylum and migration policy, a topic of deep importance to much of their base. That the Green leadership is prepared to accept such measures illustrates just how much pressure they faced to reach an agreement.Just two years ago, voters ejected the Greens from parliament after infighting led to a split in the party. Under Werner Kogler, the Greens’ new leader, the party has been rejuvenated.
