Let's put it this way, the EU election didn't exactly put a big damper on the Farmers' Union. And this is already providing plenty of fuel for the next leadership debate within the Lower Austrian People's Party.

Has the People's Party in Lower Austria recorded its worst ever result in a European election? Yes. And that after the historically worst result in a state election? Right again. At the latest since the tough coalition negotiations with the SPÖ after 29 January 2023, things became tight internally for Johanna Mikl-Leitner for the first time.
