Optimistic election campaign by NEOS causes a stir in Graz

On Friday, December 8, 2023, the Styrian Neos ended their election campaign in Graz with a lively and optimistic final event. Under a festive, Christmas -decorated sky, party members and supporters, led by top candidate Niko Swatek, moved through the picturesque streets of the city center, accompanied by energetic drummer and a striking inflatable unicorn.

Swatek confidently commented on the chance of the NEOS in the upcoming state elections on Sunday. "I am positive and convinced that the best is still ahead of us," he said. At the same time, he warned the voters to award "loan voices" to the ÖVP, which could possibly lead to a loss of votes for their party. His argument was based on the perception that the ÖVP had lost credibility in several federal states due to its cooperation with the FPÖ.

election campaign with clear promises

Swatek criticized the ÖVP Scharf, especially Governor Christopher Drexler, who, in his opinion, desperately tries to discredit the NEOS in the election campaign sprint. "The trained Austrian knows: If you choose tactically," emphasized Swatek. He would like to motivate voters to choose the NEOS in order to benefit from their promised better health care and a stronger business location. He also promised an end to the "party book economy", which reflects the promise of the Neos to promote a transparent and fair government system.

The participation of the Secretary General of the Federal Party of Douglas Hoyos and the National Council MP Fiona Fiedler confirmed the cohesion and ambitions of the Neos on the state level. Swatek is optimistic about the elections and is convinced that the NEOs will feel an update after the EU and National Council elections. "I believe that NEOS will also be in Styria on Sunday as election winner," he added.

The mood during the campaign graduation was characterized by enthusiasm and symbolized the will of the Neos to bring a fresh wind into Styrian politics. It remains to be seen whether this optimistic attitude will pay off in the elections. For more information on this topic, interested parties can have the complete reporting read .
