Domestic policy journalist Petja Mladenova from Krone analyzes on krone.tv the parties’ prospects for the National Council elections on September 29, which can be derived from the EU elections.
After the results of the EU elections, the cards have now been shuffled again: “It will be exciting for us journalists, because due to the small gap between the FPÖ, ÖVP and SPÖ, the outcome of the elections on September 29 is now open again. The ÖVP was also internally quite surprised by the good EU election results. You could experience a real mood swing, some were really euphoric.”
Mladenova adds: “It was also a motivational boost for the FPÖ. Only the SPÖ could not benefit from the ÖVP’s loss of votes.” The beer party had not yet participated in the EU elections, which would probably cost the SPÖ votes. Conclusion: “The cards for Babler are considerably worse than those for Kickl and Nehammer .” The SPÖ is now talking internally again about party leader Andreas Babler. The Krone journalist also mentions the soon to be published new book “Hausverstand” by Hans-Peter Doskozil, which is already causing a stir: “You don’t know whether he is still offended. is that he is holding the elections for the SPÖ party leadership and will therefore write between the lines against Babler. In any case, it will also be about the migration issue, with Doskozil in Burgenland taking a slightly different course than the SPÖ in the rest of Austria. .”
Election campaign topic: taxes
Overall, the ÖVP’s performance and tax issues are likely to have a strong influence on the upcoming National Council election campaign. Mladenova: “Taxes will certainly be an important election campaign issue. The ÖVP does not want new taxes. This goes against the SPÖ’s initiative on inheritance taxes.” Moreover, the analysis interview with Krone’s domestic policy journalist also analyzes the role of Thomas Waitz as the new head of the Greens delegation in the EU Parliament and whether this decision is a decision. is now a defeat for top candidate Lena Schilling.
