Andreas Babler: Making an Austrian exit

Federal Councilor Guy Parmelin is leaving the Swiss government because he wants more time for his private life - and everyone is nice to him.

Things are completely different in Austria, where first a kind of rich uncle from the USA gets involved in the top personnel issue at the SPÖ, and then everything goes wonderfully into disarray on a Sunday.

We discuss why Andreas Babler has to go, but then only half, what happens next with the Social Democrats, and what can be understood about the countries based on the very different resignations.

Also at Hello. Greetings. Hello.: Austria has introduced a parcel tax, 2.40 euros are now due per shipment.

There is great anger about this, but does the tax also have something good? And what other options are there to curb the flood of parcels in our countries?
