Vienna before the election: SPÖ on the abyss - what's next?
The political situation in Vienna is becoming increasingly exciting, while the city is preparing for the upcoming elections. The Vienna state and municipal council election is scheduled for mid-October 2025, and SPÖ mayor Michael Ludwig faces a considerable challenge. The situation is characterized by a number of election defeats, both at state and federal level. According to ORF Vienna , however, a early National Council election could also take place in May 2025, which could influence the dynamics of the Viennese elections.
rivalries and difficulties
The Wiener FPÖ, led by Dominik Nepp, spoke in favor of saving the elections in order to save costs in times of scarce coffers. Nevertheless, the current coalition of SPÖ and Neos does not see an early Vienna election as currently discussed. The SPÖ is disappointed with the national negotiations with the ÖVP. Ludwig emphasizes the need for a resilient federal government, while NEOS Vice Mayor Christoph Weels praised the cooperation in Vienna, but the SPÖ indicates inadequate willingness to reform. This is in contrast to the view of the Vienna ÖVP boss Karl Mahrer, who sees a loss of influence by the SPÖ, as reports.
In the middle of these political disputes, the SPÖ will be decisive for consolidating its basis and slowing the growing support for the FPÖ. The voting autumn 2025 is considered a critical moment for the SPÖ, which wants to assert itself as a strong force in Vienna after suffering from the election defeats in recent years. The gap between the parties is dangerously increased by the growing voices for right -wing populist currents. All parties are under strong pressure to find solutions and to face the challenges of the current political landscape.| Details | |
