„Ludwig Will Win Anyway“: KPÖ and LINKS as "Annoying Opposition" in Vienna Election
KPÖ and LINKS are entering the election campaign for the Vienna municipal council election with their core issues of housing, affordable energy prices, and clean politics. In the event of entering the municipal council, they want to be an "annoying, uncomfortable social opposition" from the left in the town hall, as top candidate Barbara Urbanic (KPÖ) said at a press conference on Wednesday. And the left-wing parties are confident that it could work out this time. "We are aiming for six percent," said Urbanic.
Vienna Election: "Ludwig Will Win Anyway" Is the Motto of the Posters
During the presentation of the posters for the joint election campaign in front of Wien Energie in Spittelau, the KPÖ top candidate criticized that the high energy prices are "passed on to customers unchecked," even though the energy supplier belongs to the city. In other areas, the city of Vienna is resting on the achievements of the past, said Urbanic, referring to the massively increased rents and operating costs.
"Ludwig will win anyway," is the motto on one of the simple black-and-white posters, which will be placed on 500 triangular stands in the federal capital. Since no one can challenge SPÖ mayor Michael Ludwig for first place, a vote for the Social Democrats in Vienna makes no difference, argues Angelika Adensamer, the second on the list from the LINKS party. A "real change" can therefore only come with pressure from the left instead of the right. In view of the "massive shift to the right," "social answers, not racist ones" are needed, said Adensamer. The election campaign budget of the two parties, which are running together again, is estimated at 500,000 euros.
