Everyone knows the leading party candidates. But who are the men and women who are pulling the election strings in the background? The "Krone" presents these "masterminds in the second row". To kick things off, Raphaela Pammer (SPÖ) talks about "uncool" politics, breaking a taboo as a political wake-up call - and why it doesn't work without Nirvana.

In terms of hairstyle, Raphaela Pammer would fit in perfectly with the NEOS. The 38-year-old's pink hair is a real eye-catcher. Despite her brightly colored mop of hair, she has nothing to do with the Liberals. Since she was 14 years old, the Freistädter (Upper Austria) has seen herself as a dyed in the wool "red".
