As many as two documentaries about the political rise and fall of former Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz premiered in Austria, which is why the public has speculated about whether he is returning to politics before the elections, which he denies.
The recent premieres of documentaries about former Federal Chancellor Kurz have greatly upset the Austrian public. The Austrian director Kurt Langbein, who already announced the premiere of a documentary called the Ballhausplatz project a year ago, did not know that it would be overtaken by another unannounced documentary by the director Sascha Köllreitner called Kurz, which is criticized for not being critical enough addressed the political path of Kurz, while the director dismissed the criticism.
“Of course we also asked questions about all the allegations and investigations, but Sebastian Kurz and his team did not provide answers,” he said.
While people’s party sympathizers and Kurz himself took part in the Kurz documentary, they also attended the premiere, but no one was present at the premiere of the documentary Ballhausplatz project, which is otherwise critical of the political rise and fall of Kurz, and they also refused to participate in it said director Langbein.
“Unfortunately, everyone involved around Sebastian Kurz and even he himself refused the interview invitation, so they can attribute this shortcoming to themselves,” Langbein said.
Federal parliamentary elections will be held in Austria next year, many say that Kurz’s return to politics is not possible, but there are now speculations as to whether he intends to found his own party after all if he is acquitted in the Ibiza Affair.
