Allegations that Lena Schilling spread damaging rumours are causing a stir, but some believe criticism of her to be sexist and voyeuristic
his European parliament is probably going to be the most rightwing ever – and it will want to rip up the Green Deal,” said Lena Schilling, a 23-year-old climate activist turned Green politician, as she canvassed voters in a bougie market in central Vienna.
For a public struggling to make sense of the scandals, which have gripped this rich country of 9 million people, there is enough uncertainty around some of the allegations to fuel fiery debate. The Austrian press council has opened an investigation into the newspaper’s reporting that will explore its reliance on anonymous sources.
But the criticisms have advanced far beyond Schilling herself. The Green party’s response to the crisis has added fuel to the fire that, for some voters, eclipses the original allegations. But after pandemic lockdowns pushed protests online and a series of crises turned public attention away from the environment, activists have increasingly asked themselves how they can best effect change. Some have turned to more radical forms of protest, while a handful have thrown their hats into the political arena.
