Bernhard Heinzlmaier wrote that a person he sharply criticized had prevailed against Ludwig, Katzian, Winkler, and Fellner. Nine state party leaders had allowed themselves to be maneuvered by a provincial mayor who had used a statute that they themselves had approved. Heinzlmaier asked why those affected did not resign together. He predicted a short term for Fellner and expected Winkler to achieve 16 percent. According to his assessment, the FPÖ would triumph, while the SPÖ and ÖVP would leave the countries and the federal government to them. He described one of the mentioned parties as politically lifeless and referred to the process as unprecedented. #Politik #Wahlen #Österreich (translated)
