“Strange picture” – SPÖ election: Ludwig against Christian Kern’s comeback

Former Chancellor Christian Kern is repeatedly traded as a last-minute candidate, probably because he has only vaguely commented on the whole process for days when asked. In any case, he would not have the support of Vienna’s Mayor Michael Ludwig, who also does not believe that the former party leader will stand: “It would also be a strange picture: that he would leave the party after a lost election as chancellor, the opposition one of himself proposed woman in order to then aim for the chancellorship again,” said the city manager in “Standard”.
