Schellhorn: Resignation overdue-Neos members express their distrust!
Schellhorn: Resignation overdue-Neos members express their distrust!
Salzburg, Österreich - On May 24, 2025, the FPÖ calls for an immediate resignation of Sepp Schellhorn, the Neos boss in Salzburg. Michael Schledlitz, FPÖ General Secretary, criticizes the election result, which certified over 48 percent of Neos members Schellhorn on election evening. This makes him one of the most unpopular state party leaders in the history of the Neos, as Schledlitz notes. He describes Schellhorn as a personified vote of no confidence and thus demonstrates increasing dissatisfaction within the party.
Schledlitz not only sees the end of Schellhorn's political self-overestimation, but also interprets it as a symptom of the crisis of the so-called “losing ambulance” in the Federal Government. This development is evaluated by the FPÖ as a sign that support for the government decreases at all levels. Schnedlitz calls for a political restart that focuses on people and real representatives.
allegations against Schellhorn
In the meantime, Schellhorn is faced with severe allegations. According to reports from Exxtra24.at, he is said to have tried to put media representatives under pressure, which is considered an attack on freedom of the press. FPÖ general secretary Christian Hafenecker reacts indignantly and explains that Schellhorn threatened a journalist to end the cooperation after he had critically reported on a change of company car. Hafeneck compares this behavior with authoritarian systems and not only demands the resignation of Schellhorn, but also a criminal investigation.he appeals to the Neos boss Beate Meinl-Reisinger to clearly distance himself from Schellhorn's behavior and emphasizes the inviolability of freedom freedom as the cornerstone of democracy. This happens at a time when the trust of the population in the government has dropped dramatically.

Especially the people in the lower economic third do not feel represented. 38% of those surveyed find that none of the political parties represent their concerns, an alarming increase compared to 2018 than this value was 13%. The most pressing political concern remains the inflation, followed by economic inequality and climate change.
The increasing dissatisfaction means that more and more people gain the impression that the political system is being used by privileged groups to their advantage. These developments could have a lasting impact on the political climate in Austria in the coming months. Political opposition, including the FPÖ, sees the government responsible for this loss of trust.
The events around Sepp Schellhorn and the falling confidence in democracy draw a worrying picture of the current political landscape in Austria. The FPÖ is now calling for a clear turn to strengthen the citizens' representation and the freedom of media to bridge the growing gap between the government and the population.
