Burgenland election: Hofer challenges Doskozil-a struggle of the giants!

Burgenland, Österreich - Austria is facing a crucial choice in Burgenland at the weekend, which could possibly fundamentally change the political balance of power. Current surveys show that the SPÖ state captain Hans Peter Doskozil could fail on the 50 percent mark, which opens up the possibility of a coalition between the ÖVP and the FPÖ, which could work past the SPÖ. According to the analysis of “Today”, social media in particular could significantly influence the outcome of the election. The FPÖ leads with 90,200 interactions on platforms such as Facebook, while Doskozil has less followers with 76,700 interactions, but can mobilize them.

Braise by Norbert Hofer

The former FPÖ chief Norbert Hofer really accelerates in Burgenland: after retiring from the National Council, he announced a clear declaration of war to Doskozil. Hofer, who remains true to his political roots in Burgenland, explains in an interview with "OE24" that he could definitely consider a coalition without the SPÖ, and even speaks of the possibility of a colorful all-party coalition against the Social Democrats. Hofer is convinced that his return to Burgenland could lead to strengthening the FPÖ.

The FPÖ has the front with regard to advertising expenditure, while the SPÖ knows how to use it more efficiently despite lower expenses. Despite uncertainty about personal goals, Hofer expects a strong result in the election and wants to challenge the SPÖ in its dominance. Further political developments in the federal government could also be exciting if there are new elections, says Hofer. The outcome of the election on Sunday could not only have far -reaching consequences for Burgenland, but also for all Austrian politics, as "OE24" reports.
