BBC World Service - World Questions, Vienna

Following a swing to the right in elections last year, Austria is governed by a coalition between the ruling Conservative People’s Party and the far-right Freedom Party. It has taken over the presidency of the Council of the European Union with the motto, “A Europe that protects”, with a focus on efforts to prevent illegal immigration into the EU.

Jonathan Dimbleby chairs a public debate on Austria’s political and economic future at the Theatre Museum in Vienna. The panel includes Government spokesperson Peter Launsky-Tieffenthal, Liberal Party leader Beate Meinl Reisinger, Eva Blimlinger, Rector of the Academy of Fine Arts and Claus Raidl, former President of the Austrian National Bank.
