[Vienna 29th Reuters]-The right-wing Nationalist Party, led by former Prime Minister Sebastian Cruz, was elected first in Austria after the election of the national parliament (the House of Representatives) election was held in Austria. Maintained party status.
The far-right Liberal Party, which had been accused of corruption by the leader of the previous party, has greatly retreated, while the green party has made a breakthrough. In the future, Kurz still has the option of working with either side to establish a coalition government.
The Nationalist Party was operating in a coalition with the Liberal Party, but in May of this year, a scandal involving Heinz Christian Strahe, who was the deputy prime minister of the Liberal Party at that time, was discovered, and the Liberal Party left the coalition. The Kurz Cabinet's distrust plan was then enacted, leading to a dissolution general election. A video was reported that Strache promised to provide a convenient return in return for election support for a woman named Russian rich man.
However, in this election, when the polling agency independently compiled other than postal mail, the KMT recorded a 37.1% vote rate. This is much higher than 21.7% of the second largest Social Democratic Party. The liberal party was 16.1% and the green party was 14.0%.
Kurz said, “It was a tough four month period, but the voters supported us again.” The concrete hope of the coalition partner was not expressed, but first, the idea of discussing with all political parties was shown.
The most likely possibility is to rejoin the Liberal Party or link up with the Green Party. Although the establishment of a central alliance with the Social Democratic Party is not zero, it is very unlikely to be realized under each current leadership.
