He is a real heavyweight. At least in terms of his body mass. Whether he will become one politically remains to be seen. At least SPÖ local councillor Jeremie Dikebo has set the bar high. "I want to become Federal President," says the 21-year-old. Why he doesn't give relationship advice, what he thinks the SPÖ is doing wrong and why he describes himself as a cleaner.

Black suit, white shirt, Jeremie Dikebo is all dressed up for his appointment with the "Krone". He is greeted warmly on the street and engages in a brief conversation in the café near the main square. "I was the youngest ever member of the local council in Ried in 2021 at the age of 18 and got around 300 preferential votes in the regional elections," Dikebo tells us proudly.
