As part of a large Austria-wide event, the SPÖ’s intensive election campaign for the 2024 National Council elections was launched today. 700 visitors came to the big event under the motto “For your better Austria” on the Kaiserwiese in Vienna’s Prater – the nationwide start of the intensive phase was broadcast via livestream to all nine federal states.
SPÖ Vienna regional party chairman Mayor Dr. Michael Ludwig emphasized at the event: “Wherever social democracy governs, people are better off – in Vienna, the most livable city in the world, we can see very clearly what a difference responsible politics makes. We want to achieve another strong result for the SPÖ in this election so that, as social democrats, we can improve people’s quality of life throughout Austria. That is why the Vienna election machine will be running at full speed again in the final stretch – side by side for social cohesion and a social democratic Chancellor Andi Babler!”
The focus of the evening was the speech by SPÖ federal party chairman Andreas Babler and a talk by the Viennese SPÖ top candidates Doris Bures, Barbara Teiber and Heinrich Himmer. In their speeches, the candidates once again underlined the social democratic plans for a socially just Austria of the future: the right to equal opportunities and high-quality education for all children, the fair distribution of wealth, good conditions for Austria’s employees and the safeguarding of our strong health and pension system.
“The SPÖ is committed to fair working hours, good working conditions and justice in working life. We are the loud voice of employees in parliament,” said the federal chairwoman of the GPA union and National Council candidate Barbara Teiber, emphasising the basic values of social democracy. Heinrich Himmer stressed the need for equal opportunities in education: “Every child should be given the best opportunities – regardless of where they live or their parents’ income. From kindergarten, to school, apprenticeship, university and lifelong learning.”
The Viennese top candidate Doris Bures emphasized the indispensability of a social democratic course for the next federal government: “In the home stretch of the election campaign for the National Council elections, one last powerful push is needed. Austria needs a strong social democratic signature again – for social fairness, fair prosperity and sustainable responsibility.”

The SPÖ, founded in 1889, is one of the oldest and most established political parties in Austria. According to the EU Political Barometer, the SPÖ is a social democratic party with a strong ideology and moderate polarization [[2]]. However, the party has faced criticism in the past, with some accusing it of having a “dark side” due to its historical ties with far-right groups, such as the Freedom Party (FPÖ) [[3]].
Despite these criticisms, the SPÖ remains a dominant force in Austrian politics, with a strong focus on social justice and equality. As the country gears up for the 2024 National Council elections, the SPÖ’s intensive election campaign is expected to galvanize support among Austrians who share the party’s values.
