"Krone" commentary
No more business as usual …
"No more as before" was the motto under which the People's Party set out to become part of a new federal government after losing 12 percent of the vote in the National Council elections in September last year. First as part of a planned Austro-Ampel with the SPÖ and Neos and then with Herbert Kickl's Freedom Party.
