Signal to Babler
Test LTW Bgld Live
Burgenland's governor Hans Peter Doskozil triumphed on Sunday with 46.4 percent of the vote. He managed to do what SPÖ federal party leader Andreas Babler had failed to do: build a firewall against the Freedom Party.
The most important news in a nutshell:
- The SPÖ lost its absolute. Governor Hans Peter Doskozil exposed his own federal party leader Andreas Bab ler on TV.
- The FPÖ made strong gains and took second place, but the blue party was unable to win a second state governor's seat.
Alexander Pröll, Secretary General of the ÖVP in the federal government, identified "painful losses" - and he took offense at Norbert Hofer's performance.
- The Greens managed to re-enter the state parliament and want to join the government. The NEOS did not make it in.
- Violence scandal in the Landhaus in Eisenstadt: An ORF man was allegedly attacked and fell to the ground - apparently unconscious!
Series of pictures from election day:
Doskozil defended his number one position impressively
He has achieved what his state governor colleagues could only dream of. While they lost an average of ten percent in the state elections, Hans Peter Doskozil clearly and impressively defended his number one position in Burgenland.
Luxury defeat
A loss of 3.5 percent - in times like these, that almost sounds like a luxury defeat.
23.3% between Doskozil and Hofer
The first projection brought tears to the eyes of Doskozil's closest team. Although Doskozil lost the absolute majority in the Burgenland state parliament with 46.4 percent, he still smashed the plans of FPÖ top candidate Norbert Hofer to topple him out of the state governor's seat. Doskozil and Hofer are separated by 23.3 percent. Burgenland remains a red stronghold. But: Doskozil must now look for a coalition partner.
Greens now want to form a coalition with Doskozil
The Greens are considered the favorites, having managed to enter the state parliament with 5.7 percent despite poor polls. Top candidate Anja Haider-Wallner already signaled on election night that she wanted to take on government responsibility. "We have a lot of ideas on how we can make Burgenland a better place to live."
Blue wave not as strong as in the federal government or Styria
The second winner of the evening was Norbert Hofer. The Freedom Party only managed 9.8 percent in the 2020 election a few months after the Ibiza affair. The blue wave is also rolling in Burgenland, albeit not with the same concentrated force as in the federal government or Styria. The blue returnee Hofer achieved 23% in his first appearance as a top candidate. An increase of 13.2 percent.
Is the austerity package starting to have an impact on the FPÖ?
However, the FPÖ in Burgenland remains behind the national trend, as Herbert Kickl jumped above 29 percent. Also a downer for Hofer: "Of course I would have preferred it if no coalition had been possible without us", said Hofer. It is possible that the austerity package recently put together by the federal government is already having an impact on the election result.
ÖVP: Minimal ray of hope in the valley of tears
The election result for the People's Party is bitter, but equally surprising. A big drop of 8.38 percent hurts. At 22.3 percent, this is the worst result in history. However, the fact that they were neck-and-neck with the FPÖ for a long time on election night for second place was a minimal ray of hope in the black valley of tears after the developments in federal politics, including the resignation of Chancellor Karl Nehammer.
The NEOS in Burgenland are not making any headway. They contested the state elections for the third time. And for the third time, the result was disastrous. The Pinks achieved just two percent. And the Hausverstand list failed to crack the one percent mark.
