And Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger (NEOS) has won prominent emissary from other political camps for this final sprint. In addition to ex-Federal President Heinz Fischer (SPÖ), this will be the former EU Commissioner Johannes Hahn (VP), the former vice president of the EU Parliament Ulrike Lunacek and former Defense Minister Herbert Scheibner (first FPÖ, then BZÖ).
