Vienna election campaign citizens unsettled: FPÖ and ÖVP in the racism dispute!
In the center of the heated election campaign for the Vienna municipal council decisions, the FPÖ will go on a confrontation course with the ÖVP on March 15, 2025. While the Viennese ÖVP accuses the FPÖ to make an increasing effort to try the votes of the Turkish community, the freedoms in turn accuse the ÖVP of being confused by Afghan acquisitions in their district groups. Peter Sverak, the state manager of the Vienna People's Party, criticized the FPÖ sharply for the use of racist assumptions: "If the FPÖ now operates with absurd claims about 'Afghan takeover', then this is nothing more than targeted agitation" href = "https://www.ots.at/presseaus-sung/ots_20250315_ots0017/sverak-ad-brucker-fpoe-panikmodus-persoen-and-rassism-instead of answer"> OTS
The ÖVP also cited concrete examples of the FPÖ, such as advertisements in Turkish media and press conferences that target Turkish -speaking media representatives. According to the ÖVP, this is a "betrayal of its own basis", since the FPÖ has staged itself for years as the "party of real Austrians" and is now running into the arms of the groups that it previously attacks. "This U-turn is not only embarrassing-it is a betrayal of its own basis," said Vienna ÖVP chairman Karl Mahrer, reported OE24
dirty election game
In the ruthless election campaign, the tone becomes rougher when it comes to the arguments between the two parties. The FPÖ decided to reject these allegations as "lies" and examines legal steps against the ÖVP. "The truth is also that numerous grands of the Viennese ÖVP have taken part in breaking fasting of radical Islamic clubs," said Lukas Brucker, the state party secretary of the FPÖ. Dominik Nepp, the Viennese FPÖ boss, is also faced with reports that claim an invitation to a Muslim Iftar fasting breakage, which the FPÖ categorically denies and denounces the false reports.
The Viennese FPÖ politician Leo Lugner also expressed himself by describing the reporting as defamatory and emphasized that his commitment was purely social at an event at an event and was not used for political purposes. It remains to be seen how this dirty election campaign will develop, while both parties want to put each other under pressure and want to mobilize their voters.
