SPÖ leader also present – ​​Van der Bellen at the end: ‘It’s not nothing’

From a purely arithmetic point of view, it could be close, “not to say very close,” he paraphrased his own saying from the get-go. “If you care about democracy, about liberal democracy,” said the incumbent and former leader of the Greens Alexander Van der Bellen“then go to the polls”.

“It’s not about choosing a self-promoter”
It is not about him as a person, but about Austria and about guiding the country competently, clearly and resolutely through stormy times. “By the way, the election of the Federal President is not about choosing a self-portrait, or a chancellor or the government. It is about the election of a Federal President.”

Rendi-Wagner, Meinl-Reisinger, Ludwig, Häupl, …
There were a number of supporters in the crowd, and certainly not just Greens. Among them were SPÖ president Pamela Rendi-Wagner, NEOS boss Meinl-Reisinger, Green boss and vice chancellor Werner Kogler, club president Sigrid Maurer, Viennese mayor Michael Ludwig (SPÖ) and his predecessor Michael Häupl, LIF founder Heide Schmid or also ex-ÖVP Minister Maria Rauch-Kallat and the Styrian ex-governor Hermann Schützenhöfer (ÖVP). Beautiful messages came from VdB predecessor Heinz Fischer, Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger and ÖGB boss Wolfgang Katzian.

Rosary at Viktor-Adler-Markt
The FPÖ candidate went to the traditional blue campaign patch Walter Rosencrantz. He invited his followers to the Viktor Adler market in Vienna. According to Rosencrantz, the only thing that connects him to Van der Bellen is love for four-legged friends, as the liberal emphasized in his speech: “Animal protection is also a matter close to my heart – but that’s where it ends.” The blue ombudsman wants to be emphasized how often during the election campaign that we must do everything differently and certainly not be a ‘deputy emperor’ in the Hofburg, but: ‘I want to be the first servant of this state’.

Incidentally, the event at Viktor-Adler-Markt was not the very last appearance of the FPÖ candidate before the elections. On Saturday he wants to set the mood again at a closing event in his hometown of Krems.
