From ORF star to executioner Herbert Kickell

Former Romey Marie Award winner Christine Giuliani played a leading role at the start of the year for FPÖ. What is the former “Bingo” woman doing at Blau?

Vera Ruswurm caused a sometimes heated debate last week, far beyond the borders of Lower Austria: because the eminent ORF– The moderator ran the beginning of the election campaign of the ÖVP there, and it was criticized, even the Red Foundation Committee spoke out in favor of banning the external moderation of ORF celebrities.

The answer was unequivocal: “Herbert, Herbert, Herbert!” Giuliani: “That’s right!”
