After trench warfare
The Styrian ÖVP must now pick up the pieces
The ÖVP is back in the Styrian state government, but the way there was marked by internal trench warfare. How did it get this far? Can Manuela Khom fill in all these rifts again? And will Barbara Eibinger-Miedl remain part of the state government for long? We took a look behind the scenes.
Shouting matches, hours of chaos and a party leader forced to resign: December 16, 2024 will go down as Black Monday in the history of the once proud Black Party. But how did it get this far? Well, Christopher Drexler completely underestimated the mood among the party base: it was already bad after the historic election defeat on 24 November and completely tipped over when Drexler wanted to join the new state government as "deputy" despite all the announcements before the ballot. This could no longer be explained to the population, railed the mayors and district leaders, who had to fight local council elections in March 2025 and feared another, possibly even more severe "wadschn".
