Haimbuchner confirmed with 92.8%: FPÖ is heading for new successes!

On April 5, 2025, the 36th regular state party conference of the FPÖ Upper Austria took place in the Linz Design Center. There Manfred Haimbuchner was re-elected as state party leader with 92.8% of the votes of the 501 delegates. This is his fifth election unopposed. The 46-year-old has held this position since 2010 and saw a slight decrease in votes compared to the last election, in which he received 93.4%.

During his speech at the party conference, Haimbuchner praised the FPÖ's successes during his time in government. He avoided attacking the governor's party and instead emphasized Upper Austria's financial stability. “Upper Austria is the only federal state with a debt brake that has not accumulated any new debt,” he noted.

Successes of the FPÖ

Haimbuchner reported on significant successes in the recent local council and state elections as well as Herbert Kickl's triumph in the National Council election. Haimbuchner, who was also critical of the treatment of Muslims, pointed out the challenges associated with the goal of moving into the Chancellery. He also recalled his own serious corona illness and the relevance of this experience for his political work.

The FPÖ in Upper Austria stands for a clear line in the political agenda that emphasizes the connection between tradition and progress. With a uniform commitment to preserving the homeland, nature and environment, the party pursues the goal of creating permanent jobs and thus promoting regional development. For example, the focus is on education and innovation, supported by a new technical university for digital transformation, as in Government program described in detail.

Financial stability and social responsibility

Haimbuchner also took the view that the FPÖ has grown into the second strongest force in the state, which represents an important step for further political development. He particularly emphasized the success factors that characterized Upper Austria as a “success story”, including willingness to perform, expertise and a sustainable approach to the citizens' livelihoods.

A central concern remains social cohesion in Upper Austria, especially support in formative phases of life such as childhood, starting a family and old age. “We have to ensure that social support, care and health care offerings are expanded,” said Haimbuchner. State politics should also pursue a more responsible use of tax money.

Finally, Haimbuchner announced that “historic things” should be achieved by 2027. His re-election and the desired vision for Upper Austria are in a clear political context that focuses on all citizens and relies on cooperation with other parties in the state parliament. The FPÖ's contribution to the political landscape of Upper Austria is and remains crucial, as are the efforts to consolidate the federal state as a successful and pioneering element in Austria and Europe.

In summary, it can be seen that the FPÖ under Haimbuchner's leadership relies on a clearly defined strategy that is oriented towards both tradition and progress. oe24 and crown report on the important steps of this political movement in Upper Austria.
