The internal tensions within the SPÖ can also be seen in the sharp criticism of trade union leader Josef Muchitsch on the lead under Andreas Babler. According to Martin Fritzl, the "press" domestic editor, it is the "most serious attack of recent times". Muchitsch demands a fundamental "course correction" and questioning whether Bablers should continue to determine the party's course. Fritzl interprets this as a massive attack on Babler's leadership style and emphasizes that the unrest within the SPÖ is particularly harmful in an election year. Burgenland's governor Hans-Peter Doskozil has also openly criticized the Vienna party leadership recently.
In view of these internal conflicts, it is unclear how the SPÖ, which is located in a difficult phase, can exist in the upcoming elections. The constant public disputes seem to serve the personal profile of individual participants than the party as a whole. As the "press" reports, it remains to be seen whether brokers will respond to the calls from his own party or whether the internal division will continue to deepen. According to Schachner and Muchitsch's statements, it becomes clear that the challenges for the SPÖ have just started and the pressure on the lead is increasing.These developments clarify that the history of the SPÖ will be of crucial importance in the coming months.
