After a mixed election, the ÖVP leader wants to develop a "positive offer for the middle class" with a view from the outside.

The ÖVP was also licking its wounds and analyzing the results the day after the mayoral run-off elections. Governor and party leader Wilfried Haslauer will host a party presidium next week to discuss the election in detail. The state leader does not want to let the elections be talked down on completely.
