He is the youngest person on the list in Carinthia: Lorenz Meschik is competing for the National Council for the SPÖ. What the 18-year-old wants to achieve and what drives him despite his unpromising position on the list.

What were you doing when you were 18, do you remember? Just finished your final apprenticeship exam, studying for your A-levels?

Lorenz Meschik is also doing the latter, he is in the eighth grade at the Peraugymnasium in Villach - and is also running for the National Council for the SPÖ. Isn't he too young for such a task?
