Economic election 2025: Who are the new winners and losers?

In the current elections to the Carinthian Chamber of Commerce, there is a dramatic picture: The Social Democratic Economic Association (SWV) recorded lighter profits of 8.0 percent, while the green economy only took fourth position with dramatic losses of 4.7 percent. The election victory of the Economic Association remains undisputed: Despite losses, he was able to grow on 603 mandates. The turnout of 28.32 percent reflects a slight increase compared to 2020, but remains worryingly low. A total of 49,124 entrepreneurs, almost 10,000 more than five years ago, gave their vote, which indicates a certain activity of the electorate, as reported.

Erwin Angerer, the head of the FPÖ, announced the impressive results of the freedom economy, which achieved a noticeable increase in trust with a plus of ten percentage points. At the same time, however, allegations against the freedom economy were made, which put the integrity of the election in the shade. There is suspicion that some FW candidates had not made any valid signatures on the declarations of consent, which could result in a comprehensive examination by the external main election commission. Despite these circumstances, the choice of Carinthian entrepreneurs shows the confidence in their representation, and the ÖVP emphasizes that the result sends clear signals , as the Thems' pages indicate. In Austria, the political landscape remains tense and challenging. In the meantime, Germany is facing an early Bundestag election, which shows significant differences in the political positions of the parties. Current surveys show that the Union has a clear lead with 32 percent, while the AfD could reach 20 percent. These election results indicate a possible U -turn in the political landscape, while the parties are gradually focusing on the decisive issues such as economy, energy and migration. The parties show a remarkable division, especially in the areas of economic policy and social responsibility, which heralds an exciting and potentially controversial parliamentary term.
