  • Austria Election Preview: Sebastian Kurz and the Rise of the Austrian ‘Anti-Party’ Page 1 of 4
    LSE European Politics and Policy (EUROPP) Blog: Austria election preview: Sebastian Kurz and the rise of the Austrian ‘anti-party’ Page 1 of 4 Austria election preview: Sebastian Kurz and the rise of the Austrian ‘anti-party’ Austria goes to the polls on 15 October, with the centre-right ÖVP, led by 31-year-old Sebastian Kurz, currently ahead in the polls. Jakob-Moritz Eberl, Eva Zeglovits and Hubert Sickinger provide a comprehensive preview of the vote, writing that although polling is consistent with the idea the ÖVP and Kurz are the probable election winners, a noteworthy number of voters are still undecided. Kurz becoming the next chancellor is thus not as set in stone as Angela Merkel’s win in Germany was. Credit: Michael Tholen (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0) Austria’s last parliamentary election in September 2013 resulted in two new parties gaining parliamentary representation, the populist Team Stronach (founded by billionaire Frank Stronach) and the liberal NEOS, while the BZÖ, Jörg Haider’s party which was in government between 2002 and 2006, failed to pass the threshold for parliamentary representation. The governing parties, the Social Democrats (SPÖ) and the People’s Party (ÖVP), recorded all-time lows in support, but still formed a coalition after the election. Team Stronach, however, deteriorated into insignificance very soon afterwards. Since then, however, Austrian voters have become increasingly dissatisfied with the performance of the SPÖ- ÖVP government. Eventually, the so-called refugee crisis in 2015 led to the right-wing populist FPÖ surging into first place in the polls. Soon after, in 2016, both government parties suffered a heavy defeat in the presidential elections, when their candidates gained only around 10% of the vote each, and failed to participate in the second, decisive round of the contest.

  • Monitor Electoral
    AUSTRIA GIRA A LA DERECHA: ANÁLISIS DE LOS RESULTADOS DE LAS ELECCIONES GENERALES DEL 15 DE OCTUBRE DE 2017 19 DE OCTUBRE DE 2017 MONITOR ELECTORAL Fuente: Aljazeera Balkans ANÁLISIS E INVESTIGACIÓN El 15 de octubre de 2017 se celebraron elecciones generales anticipadas en Austria como resultado de la crisis en la coalición gobernante, conformada por el Partido Socialdemócrata (SPÖ) y el Partido Popular Austriaco (ÖVP), misma que llevó a la dimisión de sus principales dirigentes y al fortalecimiento del ultraderechista Partido de la Libertad (FPÖ). Las elecciones se llevaron a cabo en un contexto de crisis política que contribuyó al triunfo de los conservadores y nacionalistas defensores de políticas anti inmigrantes, xenófobas y racistas, en detrimento de los socialdemócratas y liberales pro europeos. 1 MONITOR ELECTORAL Introducción Las recientes elecciones generales celebradas en distintos países europeos han estado marcadas por el auge de los partidos radicales de derecha, mismos que han conseguido obtener escaños dentro de los Parlamentos y de esta manera intervenir en el rumbo de las políticas nacionales. En Austria, la coalición conformada por el Partido Socialdemócrata (SPÖ, por sus siglas en alemán) y el Partido Popular Austriaco (ÖVP, por sus siglas en alemán) que gobernó al país después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, de 1945 a 1966, y desde 2007 hasta la actualidad, comenzó a fracturarse debido a la diferencia de posturas en temas fundamentales, tales como migración, educación y política fiscal, además de que al interior de cada partido surgió una fuerte lucha de poder que dividió a sus integrantes. Esta crisis política fue aprovechada por el ultranacionalista Partido de la Libertad (FPÖ, por sus siglas en alemán), el cual se benefició de la pérdida de confianza por parte de los ciudadanos austriacos hacia los partidos tradicionales, así como del temor surgido a consecuencia de la llegada masiva de migrantes, del aumento del desempleo y del constante choque entre los miembros del Gobierno.

Las buenas relaciones de Faymann con el también nuevo jefe del conservador Partido Popular (ÖVP), Josef Pröll, ahora vicecanciller, han facilitado la reedición de la tradicional fórmula roji-negra, pese a ser castigada en las urnas, en aras de la mayoría parlamentaria y con la mirada puesta en la crisis económica y su impacto social, que Viena intentará remontar bajando los impuestos y aumentando el gasto público.
