Elections will be held in Lower Austria in the first quarter of 2023. Should the People’s Party lose an absolute majority in the state elections, SPÖ circles are of course already counting on a black-green political marriage.
The election date has not even been set yet, so in fact it should already have been decided how things will proceed after the elections. At least that’s what the SPÖ claims – and also based it on the events in Pillichsdorf in the Mistelbach district. After the ÖVP narrowly won the new elections there, ahead of the SPÖ, it was reported that an agreement to work with the Greens had been reached in just four days. “Every time the Greens could choose between the ÖVP and SPÖ in a coalition, they chose the ÖVP. Whoever votes green gets the ÖVP,” tweeted comrade Mirza Buljubasic.
Definitely the VP wobbles
That’s how it was in Pillichsdorf. And this is how it will look after the state elections, he says. The fact is that the ÖVP currently rules 14 municipalities along with the Greens and, according to polls, could lose the absolute majority at the state level. Both sides deny that the parties agreed in advance on a coalition for this matter. “We are an opposition party and do not think of forming coalitions,” said Green Party leader Hikmet Arslan.
“The SPÖ should focus less on electoral tactics and more on working for the country,” advises ÖVP party manager Bernhard Ebner and asks what conclusions can be drawn from the coalition in Bad Großpertholz – there the SPÖ helped the FPÖ to the local chef.
