Both the SPÖ and FPÖ are “in a coalition with the population”. “Who came first?” voters ask. The motto for the upcoming election campaign is causing a stir. The backgrounds.
The super election year is casting its shadows ahead. Whether it’s the National Council, the EU Parliament or the state parliament – every election campaign will be tough. The political messages are clear. The social democratic state governor Hans Peter Doskozil sees himself as “in coalition with the population”. Same slogan The same motto now appeared with the portrait of the liberal federal chairman Herbert Kickl. The FPÖ leader is said to have copied this slogan from Doskozil, is the accusation from the red camp. A plagiarism? A swipe with a pointed pen: “Since the political credo of our state governor is now apparently being copied and a meaningless campaign is being cobbled together from it, I will Allow me to send a fee note from the SPÖ Burgenland,” SPÖ regional manager Jasmin Puchwein posted on Facebook, addressed to the FPÖ in Vienna. Cheerful plagiarism alert! No reason to get excited for the Blues, they fend off such criticism calmly and astonished at the same time. “The SPÖ Burgenland raised the slogan after the 2020 election,” said Puchwein. Criticism from the ÖVP election campaign, yes, but please don’t exaggerate! With this request, Georg Rosner, ÖVP mayor of Oberwart, responded to the heated debate about the “head ban” demanded by his own party. After ÖVP criticism of the governor’s “disguised media empire” and his party-political calculations in reports in magazines such as “Mein Burgenland”, SPÖ club chairman Roland Fürst played the ball back. Balance in focusThe mayor of Oberwart is featured on average 28 times in each issue of the Fürst had countered city news with his face. “I appear 28 times, our SPÖ deputy mayor 25 times,” answered Rosner. The ÖVP politician emphasized that he strives for balance and a fair working atmosphere in the community. Too often, however, a wrong image is conveyed, he noted. An example: According to the magazine “Mein Burgenland”, the state is investing €45 million in the Oberwart educational campus. “I am very grateful for the support. “The state’s contribution amounts to 15 million euros, with the municipality paying two thirds,” explained Rosner.
