The People’s Party had to accept serious losses in the elections for the National Council – also in Tyrol. The fact that the blacks strictly reject any cooperation with the FPÖ causes some old ÖVP politicians in the “Holy Land” to grumble behind closed doors, as Claus Meinert, editor-in-chief of the “Tiroler Krone”, knows.
It is understandable and all too understandable that the Tyrolean People’s Party was not in the mood to celebrate on Sunday evening. The loss of percentages in each of the 277 municipalities is already a major problem. If you look at the results in detail, you can also come to the following conclusion: Thousands of ÖVP voters switched to the Freedom Camp almost one by one. Because: 54,000 voters turned their backs on blacks this time and stopped voting for them compared to the results of the 2019 National Council elections.
No cooperation with the FPÖ
The Blues, on the other hand, welcomed 57,000 new voters to their ranks. The exciting question now is whether these 57,000 new FPÖ voters, who previously saw the ÖVP as their political home, are suddenly right-wing extremist Nazis in the eyes of the ÖVP? From Anton Mattle’s point of view, this conclusion could be drawn because the Tyrolean governor strictly rejects any cooperation with the FPÖ, and not just with election winner Herbert Kickl.
Mattle has cemented himself in terms of the FPÖ’s exclusion. It will be exciting to see how long it will take before the grumbling among Tyrolean blacks about this attitude becomes louder. So loud you can hear it in public. Because behind closed doors old ÖVP politicians say they should form a coalition with the FPÖ. Also to hold this party liable. As mentioned, this still happens behind closed doors.
