ÖVP politician Sophia Kircher has just been elected to the EU Parliament, State Secretary Claudia Plakolm, also ÖVP, is about to be elected to the National Council. She is the second on the ÖVP list after Federal Chancellor Karl Nehammer. In an interview, the JVP members talk about the FPÖ, youth, the EU and taxes.

"Krone": What conclusions are you drawing after the EU elections with regard to the National Council elections?
Claudia Plakolm: From a youth perspective, June 9 was a very successful day because the overall voter turnout was very high. We came first among the under-30 voters and achieved an increase of 4 percent. Of course, it is difficult when you are down 9 percent overall.
