Via Remix News,<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Vienna\u2019s regional parliament election saw the Austria Freedom Party (FP\u00d6) achieve a historic success, achieving a second-place result in the traditional left-wing city. <\/strong>The party almost tripled its support to over 20 percent compared to the previous election. The result could further destabilize the Austrian People\u2019s Party (\u00d6VP), which shunned the FP\u00d6 to form a national government with left-wing parties.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite a drop in support, the Social Democratic Party (SP\u00d6) remained in first place to continue leading the Austrian capital.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

S\u00e1muel \u00c1goston Mr\u00e1z, director of the N\u00e9z\u0151pont Institute, told\u00a0Magyar Nemzet<\/a>\u00a0that the strengthening of the FP\u00d6 could have a serious impact on the rest of the country, as well as internationally. Coalition negotiations have now begun, and the party leaders have also assessed the results.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddf9 BREAKING: Austria’s right-wing FP\u00d6 party has TRIPLED its support in Vienna.<\/p>\n

It is now the 2nd-strong party after city-wide elections, but the left still dominates.<\/p>\n

\nFP\u00d6: 20.4%
\nGreens: 14.6%

In particular, the \u00d6VP saw its support in Vienna crater. The chancellor\u2019s party plummeted to 9.6 percent\u2014a drop of 10.8 percentage points compared to 2020. There is already speculation in Viennese party circles about a possible resignation of the 70-year-old city party chairman, Karl Mahrer. Despite the defeat, the People\u2019s Party is determined to govern alongside the SP\u00d6.<\/p>\n

Michael Ludwig, the socialist mayor of Vienna, made it clear in a statement on Sunday evening that the SP\u00d6 remained the strongest party in the elections and that negotiations will begin with several parties about possible cooperation.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddf9 This is now Vienna on a warm day. The Austrian city is often labeled the \u201cmost livable\u201d city in the world.<\/p>\n

Yet, the Viennese vote overwhelmingly for more mass immigration, even as the city becomes more packed every year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to form a stable city and provincial government before the summer,\u201d <\/strong><\/em>Ludwig said while ruling out the possibility of a coalition with the FP\u00d6.<\/p>\n

A continuation of the red-green coalition seems likely, but cooperation with NEOS is not ruled out.<\/p>\n

On behalf of NEOS, Bettina Emmerling indicated that they would be happy to continue the \u201cprogress coalition\u201d with the SP\u00d6, especially building on cooperation on education policy. The party\u2019s secretary general, Douglas Hoyos, also welcomed the result, highlighting that NEOS achieved almost 10 percent, a historic high for the party in Vienna.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Judith P\u00fchringer, leader of the Greens, said the party\u2019s themes were in line with the SP\u00d6\u2019s goals. Werner Kogler, the party\u2019s national chairman, also confirmed that the Greens were ready to actively participate in shaping Vienna\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

Although the Austrian People\u2019s Party (\u00d6VP) suffered heavy losses, party leader Karl Mahrer stated that if the mayor wanted to pursue a policy committed to the political center, economic stability, and social cohesion, the \u00d6VP was open to negotiations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Vienna leader of the Austrian Freedom Party, Dominik Nepp, told broadcaster ORF:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe huge vote of confidence from the voters has been clearly demonstrated. We have tripled our support. This is a clear sign that people want change. From our perspective, a red-blue coalition would be what many people want. Mayor Ludwig must finally abandon his exclusionary policies. We will consistently monitor the functioning of Vienna!\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Herbert Kickl, national chairman of the FP\u00d6, also spoke:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe strong result of Dominik Nepp and the FP\u00d6 shows that people in Vienna also want change,<\/strong> and change that puts the people back at the center of politics. The people are sovereign, and this sovereign has given a clear signal in Vienna today.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
