Burgenland Election: Common Sense List Criticises Competitors' Campaign
The Hausverstand list, with top candidate Geza Molnar, was confident of entering the Burgenland state parliament. Criticism was leveled at the "content-free" campaign of the competitors.
Criticism from Hausverstand List Before Burgenland Election
In the state parliament, the list wants to position itself as a "strong alternative" to the established parties. "We will be the surprise of the election day, I am sure of that," Molnar confidently said, as the only known survey dates back to November. He criticized that he had never experienced such a "content-free campaign": "It was only about possible constellations after the election." The Hausverstand list focuses thematically on the three keywords "freedom, prosperity, doctor's appointments". For example, he called for a reappraisal of the Corona time, which should culminate in a separate state pandemic plan, a central waiting list for specialists and, if necessary, financial support from the state for appointments with private doctors. The Hausverstand list is the only one to oppose the energy transition.
"Just 'Dosko Away' is Not a Program"
Addressing the other parties, Molnar said: "Just 'Dosko away' is not a program." The ÖVP and FPÖ also have top candidates or a state party chairman who are not represented in the state parliament - he misses their passion for politics. After the election day, it will definitely continue for the Hausverstand list, this election is the "foundation for possible further activities", Molnar also considers support at the municipal level. There needs to be an "effective" opposition in the state parliament, but if he were invited to government negotiations, he would not rule that out either.
"There is no other way than for us to overcome the four percent hurdle, because voters need the Hausverstand list to bring reason and common sense into the state parliament," also explained the second on the list and former FPÖ member Manfred Haidinger. Manfred Kölly, on the other hand, announced: "I am convinced that we will enter and then we will be the deciding factor." The hurdle for entry is "not easy, but it is possible and we will make it." He set the bar high and said: "We will have the opportunity to enter with five, six percent. That's what my gut tells me and it has never deceived me."
