There are new allegations against the former FPÖ deputy mayor of Graz in the FPÖ financial affair: he is said to have had trips and wines financed from taxpayers' money. 

The state election is being decided in Graz - which is why the election campaign is increasingly focusing on the state capital. Unlike in the rest of the country, three lists - the FPÖ spin-off KFG ("Korruptionsfreier Gemeinderatsklub"), DNA and MFG - are competing there, which could fish in the blue voter pond - and steal votes away from the Freedom Party.
