Austria's shift to the right

The Social Democratic Party of Austria and the Austrian People's Party, which together made up the country's grand coalition government which collapsed in July, have suffered major losses in early parliamentary elections. By contrast the Freedom Party of Austria and the Alliance for the Future of Austria, both right-wing populistic groups, received 30 percent of the vote. What are the causes and consequences of Austria's shift to the right?

Neue Zürcher Zeitung - Szwajcaria

The Neue Zürcher Zeitung puts the victory of the Austrian right-wing populists down to the policies of the ruling SPÖ and the ÖVP. "Voters are more predictable than government policy. They gave the two major parties, the SPÖ and the ÖVP, the treatment they fully deserved. ... One can well imagine how difficult it will be to turn this mess into a government capable of acting once more. Unless, that is, another typical Austrian-style grand coalition is the result. True, such a coalition would be led by a brand-new chancellor, Werner Faymann, the new head of the SPÖ. But since he has already gained a reputation as an agile master of the pragmatics of unscrupulous behaviour, not much good can be expected from him. Happy Austria, you can now go on muddling along."

Delo - Słowenia

The daily newspaper Delo criticises the parties of the political centre for failing to distance themselves from the arguments of the right-wing parties. "In recent times even the Social Democrats have joined the right-wing parties in their nationwide campaign against the EU. This has made one thing clear: when nothing good comes from Brussels - something the majority of Austrians believe, despite the foreign minister's claims to the contrary - it is those who proclaim 'Austrianness' to be our most precious asset who stand to gain. Heinz-Christian Strache's Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) and Jörg Haider's Alliance for the Future of Austria (BZÖ) have won almost a third of the vote, and if the two politicians weren't at loggerheads one of them could even become Austrian Chancellor! ... The government, which wants Austria to become an even more successful pro-European country, will have to work hard to counter the bad habits of politicians, which have been prevalent since the Second World War."

Süddeutsche Zeitung - Niemcy

For the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the shift to the right in Austria's elections is an expression of voters' dissatisfaction with the egoism of Austria's main parties: "It is only right that the Austrian People's Party has been the worst hit. It had fallen into a destructive mode the likes of which not even the otherwise so vengeful Social Democrats are capable. ... Wilhelm Molterer, the current vice chancellor, ... will have to step down. But the People's Party will also have to dispose of another grim figure - former chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel. ... This is the end of the myth that Schüssel so loved to propagate: that by including the right-wing extremist Jörg Haider in the government in 2000 he had destroyed Haider's effectiveness and charisma. Think again: Haider has made the Alliance for the Future of Austria, a derisory ... split-off from his old Freedom Party, into the country's fourth strongest party. Social uncertainty in one of the most prosperous countries in Europe is at the heart of the Austrian disaster." (29/09/2008)

La Repubblica - Włochy

The Italian daily La Repubblica describes the results of the parliamentary elections in Austria as a Viennese challenge for the European Union. "The right-wing extremists have won a resounding victory in Austria, one unprecedented both in terms of its magnitude and its political significance in the entire history of post-war Europe. ... It will be virtually impossible to form a government without or even against right-wing extremists in Vienna. The EU, which only a few years ago imposed political sanctions against the Alpine republic when Wolfgang Schüssel's conservative ÖVP party formed a coalition with the right-wing populist Jörg Haider, is now facing a challenge for which it is entirely unprepared. ... Statistically the only possibility seems to lie in another grand coalition between the Social Democrats [SPÖ] and the conservative Austrian People's Party [ÖVP]. But from a political point of view this seems impossible, on the one hand because of the poisoned relations between the two parties and on the other because of the blow they have just received from the voters. Brussels will need to come up with a convincing response ... to this new situation." (29/09/2008)
