That’s it then: goodbye with Ü for turquoise-green

The Environment Minister votes against partners and provincial governors, treading on legally thin, strategically thick ice. The ÖVP denounces her for abuse of office. That's it for this government.

The last days of this federal government are like a democracy parody in a North Korean film production from the propaganda ministry in Pyongyang. Two elected parties, which according to the polls are far from a joint majority anyway, are embarrassing themselves and us on the European stage. The leading actress in this absurd interlude is Leonore Gewessler, the self-proclaimed Joan of Arc of (re)naturalization.
