Election 2024

Thomas Hofer, Barbara Tóth: Election 2024

The Turning Point in the Second Republic: An In-Depth Look Behind the Scenes of Austria’s 2024 National Council Election

For the first time, the FPÖ crossed the finish line as the strongest party, while the traditionally dominant ÖVP and SPÖ together failed to secure even 50 percent of the vote.

• What are the reasons behind these historic developments?
• What tricks and techniques did spin doctors employ during the campaign?
• How did FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl manage to rise after the scandal-ridden year of 2019?
• Why did other political forces fail to reach their full potential?
• And: What are the consequences for Austria’s future political course?

This book offers a well-founded look into the inner workings of the republic. Key party strategists provide insight into their work behind the scenes. Independent campaign professionals, journalists, and experts from business, society, and academia examine the issues and trends that will continue to shape Austria – and Europe – in the years to come.
