Lena Schilling, a prominent climate activist and Green Party candidate for the European Parliament, faces a media assault highlighting her personal character rather than her policies.
Following the negative press, Schilling defended herself at a news conference, insisting that the article's accusations were unrelated to the political landscape and upcoming elections.
The controversial article triggered a public fallout, with powerful figures like Austria's vice chancellor dismissing the claims as mere 'anonymous murmurs' and the president showing solidarity with Schilling.
As the election looms, the controversy surrounding Schilling could further complicate an already challenging campaign for the Green Party, which is anticipated to struggle in the elections.
