Advertising works: Three days after his sensational ad in the “Krone Bunt,” presidential candidate Tassilo Wallentin not only had the 6,000 signatures needed for the election, he had already surpassed them.
After punk rocker Marco Pogo, lawyer Tassilo Wallentin has now also gathered the necessary statements of support he needs to run for the presidential election on October 9, according to “Krone” information. Only on Sunday was a support form published as an advertisement in the “Krone Bunt” on Sunday. Over the course of the day, the result should even be in five figures.
10-year-old donated 45 euros
Wallentin himself speaks to the “Krone” of a “wave of encouragement”, even a 10-year-old boy donated him 45 euros for his election campaign. In any case, he will return this money, according to Wallentin, who invited him to a media event on Wednesday evening.
“Compete to Win”
Tassilo Wallentin again explained the reasons for his candidacy for the presidential election on Monday. “When I see our country go to the dogs, I can’t watch anymore. We have a gas, migration and neutrality crisis. None of the ruling politicians can deal with these problems. So it needs a Federal President who does not matter the political establishment comes so that the country does not run into the wall,” said the lawyer. His goal in the election? “I’m in to win.”
“Survey sees Wallentin at six percent”
According to a recent survey, Wallentin can count on 6 percent of the vote in the Hofburg elections. This is apparent from the research conducted by Unique Research, scientifically led by Peter Hajek, for the news magazine “profil” and the television channel ATV. The incumbent Alexander Van der Bellen is far ahead with 66 percent.
Collaboration with FPÖ “substantially failed”
Wallentin said there was contact with the FPÖ. He finds it doubtful that “state-supporting parties” do not nominate a candidate. That’s why he spoke to the FPÖ. “That failed for substantive reasons. I don’t see myself on the left and I don’t see myself on the right.”
