The FPÖ scored particularly in communities in which the resistance to the introduction of a new motto was strongly pronounced. According to a 2019 referendum, 67.3% of the population in the district of Liezen against the planned leading hospital, a topic that also received great attention during the elections. The Politpro illuminates the profound effects of this topic on voter behavior.
Outlook and future developments
The newly formed blue-black state government has agreed to implement a “Plan B” by the second quarter to expand the Rottenmann location, despite the public rejection of the leading hospital. This reflects the challenges of which the new political balance of power in Styria is facing.
Overall, the results of the elections signal a clear trend towards a bourgeois dominance in the district of Liezen, while the FPÖ has established itself as a clear alternative to previous politics. The coming months will show how these political upheavals will affect the actual decisions and policies in the region.
