Ex-chancellor Brigitte Bierlein rejects speculation that she could run against incumbent Alexander Van der Bellen in the presidential elections. However, she would stand a good chance: according to the survey, she would get 20 percent of the vote without party support.
“I am happy that Alexander Van der Bellen is at the start. I myself do not participate.” A clear statement from Brigitte Bierlein at the request of the “Krone”, who had reported speculation that she could run for president with the support of the FPÖ. The FPÖ also denied it.
The former supreme judge and chancellor of the interim government is said to have good prospects. This is the result of a survey by the Institute for Demoscopy and Data Analysis (IFDD) dated 07/11. June. 1,250 were interviewed. 20 percent would vote for Bierlein (without party support). Van der Bellen would come out at 46 percent, ex-BZÖ politician Gerald Grosz (announced his candidacy on Tuesday) at 13, Dominik Wlazny alias Marco Pogo at twelve.
Susanne Fürst (FPÖ), last traded as the favorite for the blue candidacy, would get just 9 percent. IFDD boss Christoph Haselmayer: “The 20 percent is a high value, because Bierlein was not present as a candidate among the people. In comparison: Norbert Hofer started the last election campaign with about 10-12 percent.” He eventually lost in the jump-off.
