Austrian Presidential Election, Norbert Hofer Rerun Order
The highest court in Austria ordered a rerun of the presidential election after far-right candidate Norbert Hofer narrowly lost. The hosts criticize media framing that suggests Hofer might "seize power" through a democratic election, comparing the rhetoric to coverage of Donald Trump.
Austrian Presidential Election and EU Article 7
The Austrian presidential election resulted in a narrow victory for Green Party candidate Alexander Van der Bellen over right-wing populist Norbert Hofer. The hosts discuss EU President Jean-Claude Juncker's threat to use "Article 7" to block right-wing populists from power. The razor-thin margin of 0.6% highlights the deep cultural divide in Austria regarding migration and Euroskepticism.
