Wiener Greens: Change at the top before a decisive election 2025

The Viennese Greens are at a possible turning point in their political strategy. Less than three years ago, they nominated two party leaders, Judith Pühringer and Peter Kraus. But with a view to the upcoming state election in 2025, this double tip could now belong to the past. A press conference should today inform how the Greens want to prepare the party for the elections in autumn.

Pühringer and Kraus, who have so far led the Greens together, discuss the plans for the future orientation of the party. Despite their efforts to bring stability to the former government party, the duo had to accept a bitter defeat in the National Council election a month ago. In voters, the green lost 8.4 percentage points and ended up fourth with 12.3 percent - a damper that could perhaps explain the course of the course of the party. The decline in the green core district of Neubau was particularly dramatic, where the support broke up by 15.2 percentage points.

Against this background, the upcoming target sprint for the Vienna election could cause the Greens to rely on tried and tested structures. Right now, after the deep setbacks, a clear management structure would be important to create new motivation and regain trust. In fact, three years ago, the statutes were changed so that a double tip solution became possible at all. This step could now be put to the test, while Pühringer and Kraus reveal the secret of who will lead the party to the decisive phase of the state election.

Today's press conference will provide crucial information on the new plans of the party leadership. The Greens are aware that they have to develop a clear strategy from the role of the opposition so as not to lose support. The impending announcements could prove to be pioneering for the future political landscape of Vienna.
