Until October 2021, the People's Party was surfing a wave of success, since then there have been many painful losses in elections. The drop height for Styrian Governor Christopher Drexler on November 24 is high.

If there is one point in the recent history of the People's Party that can be described as a historic turning point, then it is October 2021. The so-called advertisement affair boiled over at the time, the Greens threatened to end the government and Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz resigned. Before and after are two completely different black realities.
