"Krone" analysis

Anyone who messes with Bures has a problem

Andreas Babler, still leader of the SPÖ, has fallen out with Doris Bures and now has a big problem within the party. However, the SPÖ leader does not want to approach the powerful Second President of the National Council. "All members of the Presidium have had long enough to get involved," the party says.

It is the most beautiful internal party prose of a (second) National Council President: Doris Bures wrote to Andreas Babler and the members of the Executive Committee after a digital program presentation by the SPÖ leader on the "loving details" in some "insignificant areas" (both Bures): "In the research topic, increased funding for basic research is succinctly announced, while in the agricultural section, the increase in the proportion of organic beekeepers from the current three percent to ten percent is announced." What has angered the experienced politician, who together with Vienna's mayor Michael Ludwig leads the most powerful bloc of the Vienna SPÖ, so much that she destroys the program in such a way?
