Bitter for Georg Dornauer: The financial mess in Red Vienna and the resulting fall in favor of the SPÖ will probably also hit the Tyrolean Social Democrats hard. And that in the middle of the election campaign. Apart from that, Dornauer – like ÖVP leader Anton Mattle before him – clearly rejects a possible coalition with the PVV. “Not with me!”
There are just over three weeks until the Tyrolean state elections. Now begins the hot phase of the election campaign. You notice this not only in the overwhelming amount of partly meaningless posters, but also in the fact that every regional mini-event, such as road works, etc. is immediately invited for a press conference. Sometimes ministers even travel from Vienna to give more importance to a regional event that has no meaning for the masses. In view of other major problems, one wonders how timely this will come.
Everything went smoothly for SPÖ
Speaking of problems: so far the state election campaign for the Tyrolean SPÖ top candidate Georg Dornauer has gone like a train. He could sit back with his feet free in the front row, watch the game blue against black and really only long for September 25th. Because at the federal level, things went perfectly with the SPÖ, which would have had an impact on Tyrol. But since two days everything has changed.
Nothing runs smoothly anymore, the mega scandal surrounding Wien Energie has grown into a burning fuse that leads to a powder keg. This multi-organ economic failure in red Vienna evokes memories of the 1995 consumer bankruptcy, the insolvency of which cost thousands of people their jobs.
Is the Tyrolean SP in danger of falling?
The political competitors cheer, this imposed punishment will sink. And the suspected collapse of the SPÖ will also have consequences for Tyrol, without Dornauer of course being able to do anything about it. But that’s how fast things can go in politics.
„There will be no coalition with the FPÖ with me”
Meanwhile, the Tyrolean SPÖ boss made it clear on Wednesday that no coalition would be possible under his leadership with the FPÖ under Markus Abwerzger. “The FPÖ has not yet provided any state political content in this election dispute and has so far only attracted attention with dubious candidates and national sagas,” Dornauer said.
And now see yourself Abwerzger already as governor. “That is completely unrealistic, especially since no party that will be represented in the Tyrolean state parliament in the future would even elect him as a member of the government,” Dornauer is sure.
In any case, there will be no coalition with the FPÖ under him as Tyrolean SPÖ leader. “Abwerzger can swallow as much chalk as he wants.”
