Visiting Rendi-Wagner – A celebration for Peter Kaiser: “We are unbeatable!”

As expected: the party congress of the SPÖ Carinthia became a celebration for Peter Kaiser. The state governor was not only celebrated as the savior of the party and the state, he was confirmed in his position as chairman of the state party with a strong 99.08 percent of the delegates. In comparison, Martin Gruber received 99.6 percent at the ÖVP party conference a week ago.

Pamela Rendi-Wagner in Carinthia
Really unexpected: the speeches of Federal President Pamela Rendi-Wagner and Kaiser came about almost without state politics. Proving once again that she was anything but a rousing speaker, Rendi took the government hard to court: “The anti-inflation package is a mockery, nothing gets cheaper.” Rendi again called for inheritance tax.

It was “Plan K” (like Carinthia) that dominated Kaiser’s speech. “We want the best education, good work, a healthy future, an affordable life and a modern welfare state,” said Kaiser, who made the 439 delegates optimistic: “Together we are unbeatable. Because we are progress!”

State elections on March 5, 2023
The SPÖ will fight for the airport, said the LH, which did not say a word about the country’s political competitors. This could be an indication that the SPÖ did not see the party congress as the start of the election campaign, that the planned election date of March 5, 2023 is still being sought.

One of them will have a particularly fond memory of yesterday. Reinhart tube. The Speaker of the State Parliament was awarded the Viktor Adler Plaque, the highest red award.
