Strong Gain in Vienna Election: FPÖ Gets Two Seats in the Federal Council
Currently, the Vienna FPÖ is not represented there at all. The expected shift is still based on the projection for the Vienna municipal council election, which is simultaneously the one for the state parliament. Werner Zögernitz, President of the Institute for Parliamentarism and Democracy Issues, does not expect any changes until the final result.
Thus, five SPÖ deputies from Vienna will continue to be represented from Vienna, the FPÖ increases from zero to two. The Greens lose from two to one seat, as does the ÖVP, and the NEOS remain at one. In the overall composition of the federal chamber of parliament, the ÖVP thus decreases from 23 to 22 seats. The SPÖ remains the same with 18, the FPÖ increases from 14 to 16, the Greens decrease from 4 to 3, and the NEOS remain the same with one mandate.
