Scandal in Graz: FPÖ and ÖVP present new chaos program!

Graz, Österreich - Today at 11 a.m. the new government program of the Freedom Party (FPÖ) and the People's Party (ÖVP) will be presented in Graz. According to a report by the Krone , a documentation site for radical-Islam is set up. There are also strict measures against beggars. These changes follow a turbulent Monday, on which the Styrian ÖVP got into the headlines due to internal conflicts and chaos in its own ranks - a scenario that was more likely to be expected to the opposition SPÖ.

The FPÖ has reported in the past elections, such as the Kurier , significantly benefited from the topics of immigration and dissatisfaction with the current political situation. Political scientist Peter Filzmaier emphasizes that the FPÖ not only regained voters, but also mobilized former non -voters. It is particularly noteworthy that the FPÖ in rural areas that are traditionally dominated by the ÖVP could win voices, since many voters perceive a negative development of the political situation.

The effects of the Styrian election results on the coalition negotiations in the federal government are nevertheless to be considered sober. Filzmaier emphasizes that the coalition partners SPÖ, ÖVP and NEOS should have adjusted to a bad result. However, the psychological pressure on the government negotiators to deliver results quickly has increased, which could increase the dynamics within the government coalitions. The competition for the votes of the employed and seniors remains a challenge for the existing black and red coalition.
