There is an ice age between Andreas Babler and Hans Peter Doskozil and a reconciliation is hopeless. But in the election campaign the SPÖ Burgenland will try to mobilize voters for Andreas Babler. The ‘Krone’ knows the background of the unexpected election support.
They are more enemies than friends – Hans Peter Doskozil and Andreas Babler. Yet we hear from Burgenland that the SPÖ Burgenland will mobilize voters for the party leader in the right way until election day on September 29. The stated goal is to maximize the SPÖ’s result in Burgenland in the last National Council elections. Doskozil’s reasons for campaigning are varied.
Reason #1: Doskozil doesn’t want to be seen as a bogeyman
One motive is simple: if the SPÖ’s national result in the National Council elections is not rosy, the governor does not want to be held responsible for it. A plus for Babler in the Burgenland election results would make criticism of Doskozil more difficult, and those responsible would probably have to look within themselves for the reasons for an electoral defeat.
Reason #2: Burgenland elects the state parliament in January
A fact that is often forgotten in the tension of the super election year: Doskozil is already in campaign mode before the elections. Burgenland will vote in January 2025. Doskozil not only wants to confirm the absolute majority in 2020, he wants to improve the election results in order to celebrate a triumph. This requires an upward trend in the elections for the National Council. That is why there is also great interest in a good result on September 29.
