on the weekend the streets of vienna were full with campaigners jockeying for the best possible position. there are several options courts could go back together with the scandal ridden old partner the right wing freedom party. the social democrats might also be interested. but possibly the most intriguing option is a coalition that involves the rising green party a kind of infighting and of course we contacts need anything we want to follow the will of the photos for you god in austria the climate crisis has become one of the most important campaign issues on friday 30000 demonstrators participated in the so-called earth strike. still a coalition between greens and conservatives seems like a long shot. your handlers are looking we have our reza lines when it comes to human rights and the environment that is the conservatives end up saying we can live with all of that then great we'd be happy with this sudden flood since not the least of it how realistic is that this is well that's exactly the point we can really imagine it right now and. that's why this time around the real suspense wil
