NEOS start strong campaign: City council elections in focus!

On Friday, February 28, 2025, the Styrian Neos opened their election campaign for the upcoming municipal elections on March 23 with an impressive balloon walk in Leibnitz. Under the direction of Beate Meinl-Reisinger, the party leader, the importance of commitment in the Styrian communities was emphasized. "NEOS have never stood on the ballot paper in so many communities in Styria," she said while praising the candidates who are committed to better services in her community. With a total of 37 Styrian communities in which they will compete, and the nine Pink municipal councils so far, the Neos seem to be on a promising path. The expectations are high because the good performance from the past elections and the possible participation in federal politics indicate strong growth, as Lena Pirzl, the state manager, mentioned.

In another important step, Beate Meinl-Reisinger was elected as the top candidate for the National Council election at the NEOS general meeting in Graz with 93.4 percent of the vote. "Thank you everyone and everyone for the great trust! I am proud to be able to lead Neos in the National Council election for the second time," she said pleased. The basis is fully motivated, is closed behind a clear reform course and criticizes the other parties that appear "weak and empty" after years in the government. According to Meinl-Reisinger, it is time for the NEOS to take up the Hawaise to enable real changes while focusing on education, political integrity and a stronger union in Europe. "Nothing will change without Neos," she warned, "and we are ready to tackle the challenges of the future", as reported by the neos.eu .

election campaign with a clear focus

The campaign start and confirmation as a top candidate reflect the unpredictable dynamics in Austrian politics, where the NEOS position itself as a strong voice for change internally and externally. The upcoming elections could play a crucial role in the political landscape of Styria and beyond. "Community policy is the Champions League of politics," said Robert Reif, member of the state parliament, which underlines the importance of local politics. With a clear commitment to reform as well as the words: "The Styrian communities need a driving force that implements real reforms", NEOS underpins its position as an essential force on the political stage, while looking forward to scoring with their agenda, as reported by orf.at .
