The Communists are trying it again. They are standing in all constituencies in Lower Austria in the National Council elections. They have already finalized their list of candidates.

The Communists have already submitted their state list for the National Council elections on September 29 to the electoral authorities in St. Pölten. Nina Aigner has been nominated as the top candidate. The kindergarten teacher is entering the race as the dark red mouthpiece, particularly on education issues, announces Tobias Schweiger, the party's federal spokesperson.

Rapid support
In just three weeks, 600 declarations of support were collected, emphasizes state spokesperson Christiane Maringer: "This time it was quicker than in previous elections." The KPÖ is running in all constituencies in the largest federal state: "48 everyday experts, people from real life, are running on our list."

Focus on housing costs
In the election campaign, the Communists want to focus on the main issue: "Housing and energy costs are eating up incomes," emphasize Aigner and Mahringer. The goal is clear for the KPÖ team led by Maringer and Aigner: to surpass the 4% hurdle to enter parliament
