Calls for top duel
Styrian ÖVP leader sees “directional decision”
Styrian ÖVP state governor Christopher Drexler congratulates his party colleague Markus Wallner and calls for a top duel with his leading opponent in the polls, Mario Kunasek (FPÖ), for the Styrian elections in six weeks' time.
The Ländle election was watched with suspicious eyes, especially in the Green Mark, as the Styrians will also be electing a new state parliament in six weeks' time. Like his party colleague Markus Wallner, Christopher Drexler also has to defend his seat as governor - FPÖ party leader Mario Kunasek wants to wrest it away from him. The Blue Party is ahead in the polls, which is why the Styrian Black Party has called the top duel Drexler versus Kunasek for November 24.
"In Vorarlberg, what the European and National Council elections have already shown is continuing: The current ballots are about directional decisions between the ÖVP and FPÖ," Drexler commented on the result on Sunday. It shows "that stable conditions and constructive work are preferred to extreme positions in provincial politics."
Freedom Party sees "desire for change"
The Freedom Party is delighted with the FPÖ's gains in Vorarlberg: "Once again it has become apparent that there is a strong desire for political change among the population," said a delighted Kunasek. He also expects "upheavals in the political landscape" in Styria.
And SPÖ leader Anton Lang regretted that "so soon after the national elections" it had not yet been possible to "stand out from the federal trend".
