The communists are in the fast lane throughout Austria. They want to enter parliament in the national elections. The "Krone" spoke to Carinthia's leading candidate Bea Samwald about the election program, the ideas and why communism has become more modern.

"Krone": Carinthia has not been fertile ground for the KPÖ to date. Do you think that will change in this election?
Bea Samwald: Yes, definitely. I'm always told that Carinthia is a tough place for left-wing parties, I've already noticed that with the Young Left. But there is interest. Because there is definitely a desire for left-wing politics in Carinthia. And we are a participatory party and that is also the crux of the matter. That's why we can win a lot in Carinthia.
