FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl launches the state election campaign at the Hartberg Oktoberfest. Other parties start more cautiously, but there is not much time to catch their breath.
The perfect wave! After the July hit, the Freedom Party will currently be reluctant to step down from the board. The winner of the National Council elections must ultimately ride the good wind – if possible until the Styrian state elections on November 24.
It is therefore not surprising that party leader Herbert Kickl is back on the big stage in Styria for the first time since September 29, which was so historic for the Blues. Of course, his appearance at the FPÖ morning pint at the Hartberg Oktoberfest had been planned for a long time – now he stands next to the Styrian top candidate Mario Kunasek and is supported by the euphoria of the audience, but he will certainly not be sparing in attacking ÖVP governor Christopher Drexler.
“Give the Styria a break in the election campaign”
After the election defeat, the People’s Party is still licking its wounds. The state party’s executive committee met yesterday. “Now we want to give Styria a break from the election campaign. We are therefore starting the intensive election campaign with the start of our Styria tour on November 4 in Graz,” says ÖVP regional manager Detlev Eisel-Eiselsberg.
There is a question mark behind Babler
The SPÖ, which was thus punished in the Styrian National Council elections, will present its poster campaign tomorrow. The campaign starts on October 12 with the state party conference in Leoben. It is not yet clear whether with or without federal party leader Andreas Babler.
The Greens, for their part, want to start the race to catch up at their state meeting next Saturday.
