Johannes Voggenhuber - res publica

Orating against Gravity

A politician with an image, a rebel as orator: passionate, fervent, vehement

Johannes Voggenhuber is an exceptional political orator. For him, rhetoric is an instrument essential in dealing with the world’s contemporary conflicts and main concerns: democracy on all levels of governing, the social structure of modern societies, Europe’s unity. Whether as a city’s politician, in the federal government or as a member of the European parliament, he has always fought passionately for his cause. Consequently, he has achieved and changed a lot in the city he comes from, in his country and in Europe. This book shows him as a vehement proponent, an energetic opponent and as one who is never indifferent.

Press

Wer Voggenhubers Reden liest, kann erahnen, welche Kraft, welche Emotion, welcher missionarische Eifer, welcher Furor bisweilen in diesem Homo politicus steckt. Es ist eines der besten politischen Bücher, die in den vergangenen Jahren in Österreich auf den Markt gekommen sind.
SALZBURGER NACHRICHTEN, Manfred Perterer

Seine "Reden gegen die Schwerkraft" sind noch immer lesenswert und belegen, wie sehr Voggenhuber die Diskussionskultur in Österreich und der EU bereichert hat.
PROFIL

Das Buch macht deutlich: (...) Voggenhuber spaltet oft, erregt immer, aber ist nie langweilig.
DIE PRESSE, Wolfgang Böck
