Birgit Posch (30) and Florian Dinius (39) are new to the Styrian KPÖ's state parliament list: how they came from the provinces to join the dark reds, what's different in Graz - and what goals you pursue as an "anti-capitalist" in industry.

It wasn't an extremely long journey geographically, and yet Birgit Posch and Florian Dinius ended up in a completely different political world. She comes from Eastern Styria, he from Upper Austria - in both regions the KPÖ is a marginal phenomenon. Now they live in Graz, "and there the KPÖ is a completely different number," says Dinius.
