New Video with Mahrer Before Vienna Election
In just under two weeks, elections will be held in Vienna. The ÖVP is relying on a video featuring top candidate Karl Mahrer in the final stretch of the campaign. In the clip presented on Monday, the party leader strolls through a spruced-up city, but also points out the dark sides of the federal capital. In the spot, he gives "a promise of protection for my hometown," Mahrer explained at a press conference.
Mahrer seen in video before Vienna election
The video shows the top candidate of the Rathaus-Schwarzen at St. Stephen's Cathedral, in the Hofburg, at the Strauss monument in the city park, or in the vineyards on the outskirts. The postcard idyll is contrasted with references to gang crime, chaos in the healthcare system, or lack of German language skills among children. "There are many kinds of love" - also when it comes to love for Vienna, philosophized the ÖVP leader. On one hand, there is blind love for Vienna, where everything is glossed over and problems are ignored. On the other hand, there is "the love for Vienna that I stand for," Mahrer reaffirmed his approach to identifying problems and offering solutions.
"Those who truly love Vienna vote ÖVP"
While the promotional video is being placed online and on TV, the opposition party is simultaneously putting up posters of Mahrer's likeness with the slogan "Those who truly love Vienna vote ÖVP" as the final campaign subject. Because every vote for SPÖ, NEOS, Greens, or FPÖ is "a lost vote." The first three parties are responsible for the imbalances in Vienna, denying them or blaming the federal government. The Blues, on the other hand, only shout out the problems without wanting to solve them.
Additionally, the city-based Schwarzen will distribute a compact version of their election program in print newspaper format. Mahrer's goal is a coalition with the SPÖ.
