Beer party draws a line: new chapter without elections!

The Beer Party is drawing a radical line in the sand and bringing a remarkable change to the political landscape in Austria. At their press conference today, those responsible announced that the Beer Party will not only run as a political party in the coming elections in Vienna, but in no other elections. “We are closing the chapter as a political party in the classic sense and moving on differently,” explained the party, which now sees its future as something new and unconventional. At a time when critical voices are needed more than ever, they emphasize that they will remain “vigilant and critical” because this is urgently needed.

Thanks to the supporters

Special emphasis was placed on thanks to all voters, supporters, volunteers and members who have accompanied the beer party over many years. These parting words mark not only the end of a chapter, but also the beginning of something new for the party. However, the members did not want to give concrete answers to the question of what exactly “otherwise further” means. So the Beer Party seems to be focusing on a return to its roots – and that could mean both a renewal and a return to its original ideals, as well wien.orf.at reported.

In view of current political developments, they see it as their responsibility to continue to be active - but outside the framework of traditional political structures. The decision not to run in elections could be a sign for many other small parties facing similar challenges. OTS.at emphasizes that the Beer Party wants to devote itself to a critical examination of the current situation and thus possibly initiate a new type of political articulation.
