Hofer as the top candidate of the FPÖ for the state election in Burgenland: a historical decision.
The upcoming political changes in Burgenland raise new questions. Norbert Hofer will act as the top candidate of the FPÖ for the state election and thus give up the possibility of the post of the National Council President. His return home enables him to realize a long -cherished dream. The vacuum he leaves is uncertainty about the potential successor of Wolfgang Sobotka.
The second highest office was traditionally dressed either by the SPÖ or the ÖVP. For the first time, a member of the FPÖ could take this position. So far, 52 different people had taken a seat in the Presidium, whereby the FPÖ usually put the third National Council president. However, the story shows that sometimes uses have been broken to protect political alliances.The upcoming election date on October 24th will be crucial to determine the future of parliamentary tour. The future polarization in parliament could lead to the change of old customs. Nevertheless, the former politician Heide Schmidt emphasizes the importance of non -partisan management for the stability of parliament in times of change. The decisive vote remains secret and will show whether tradition is put to the test. Further information can be found on orf.at .
