On the federal side, the FPÖ is also extremely pleased with what, according to projections, is a clear election victory in Styria. “We won, we won clearly,” Hannes Amesbauer, a member of the National Council from Styria, told ORF happily. He saw this as an achievement of top candidate Mario Kunasek, but also saw tailwind from federal politics.
Amesbauer did not want to say with whom the FPÖ now plans to form a coalition in Styria. He assumes that Kunasek will now hold talks with the other parties in the order of the results. A “completely different approach” can be expected from him because he is cut from different cloth than Christopher Drexler (ÖVP) or Anton Lang (SPÖ). He named health policy as a key topic.
Blue cheers in the countries too
The Blues were also very happy in the other federal states. Tyrol’s FPÖ state party chairman Markus Abwerzger celebrated a “great day for Styria and for Austria.” The voters were clearly in favor of “change” and a policy “that puts the people back at the center”. In view of the result, the FPÖ club boss also warned Tyrol’s governor Anton Mattle (ÖVP) to end the “exclusion policy” towards the FPÖ and the black-red coalition in the country and to allow new elections.
Vienna’s FPÖ leader Dominik Nepp congratulated on a “brilliant election success” and the “clear first place for our top candidate Mario Kunasek.” Once again it shows that people want change and a “policy for the people,” he said. “We libertarians are fighting with all our strength towards the Vienna elections in 2025,” he promised. In the federal capital, the local council elections are scheduled for autumn next year.
“Resounding slap in the face” for Nehammer
“This historic result stands for reason and hope,” said Upper Austria’s deputy governor and FPÖ regional leader Manfred Haimbuchner, commenting on the blue landslide victory in Styria.
“Mario Kunasek is the governor that Styria needs now,” said Carinthian FPÖ leader Erwin Angerer in response to the Styrian Freedom Party’s result. In Styria, as in the federal government, it is “time for a positive change and a better future”. The result is also “a resounding slap in the face for ÖVP boss and still-Chancellor Karl Nehammer,” who wanted to cling to power and “create a loser traffic light,” said Angerer.
