During the election campaign, the "Krone" meets the most important front politicians of each party in their favorite pub as part of the series "For a splash with ...". This time, SPÖ leader Andreas Babler told us how his life story shapes his politics ...

He was drawn to the Schweizerhaus even though he is the mayor of a wine village. The "Krone" series "Auf einen Spritzer mit ..." was transformed without further ado. A mug of beer probably also fits better with the image of the proud working-class child Andreas Babler. Babler carries life in a working-class family before him like a mantra. No other top candidate's political program is so strongly influenced by his own life story as the SPÖ leader.
