Return was proud of the recent election results of his party: In the last National Council elections, the NEOs achieved over 11 percent, which, according to him, shows that citizens support a clear reform course. "We take this tailwind into the upcoming challenges," said the re -elected state party spokesman. The NEOS are planning to apply for a government participation in the next election and continue the positive development.

A central theme of the party congress was also the upcoming federal government formation, for which the NEOS are currently in exploratory talks with the ÖVP and the SPÖ. Federal party chairwoman Beate Meinl-Reisinger emphasized that the NEOS were willing to take responsibility and made it clear that the successes in Vienna also apply at the state level. She emphasized Vienna's great influence, where almost 94,000 votes for the Neos fell in the last National Council election. These results would also pave the way for future reforms.

During the party congress for the members of the NEOS, the entire political development in Vienna and at the federal level remains of great interest. The party plans to further expand the role as a reform force and to actively participate in Austria's political design.
