During the voting on election Sunday in Burgenland, ÖVP top candidate Christian Sagartz once again made it clear that the ÖVP has conducted a "courageous election campaign" and wants to be a "partner for change".
ÖVP top candidate Christian Sagartz, who went to the polls on Sunday in Pöttsching (Mattersburg district), stated: "We have given everything and hopefully reached everyone." The "external influences" from federal politics overshadowed the campaign before the Burgenland election, but still, a "courageous election campaign was conducted".
He identified "difficult headwinds" due to the absolute majority of the SPÖ and the high popularity of FPÖ top candidate Norbert Hofer - the others did not have "this starting advantage", Sagartz noted. The ÖVP now wants to be a "partner for change" and implement as much as possible from the ÖVP program, he emphasized.
