18 days before it was time to heat up the team in order to move into the Upper Austria for the first time. To create state parliament. At least the sun did this for the 100 pinks who came.
Meinl-Reisinger also “worked up a sweat” in view of the temperatures, as she admitted. Before her appearance in Linz, she had visited a medium-sized company in Upper Austria. The willingness to question everything again and again, as the daughter, who took over the family business, does, also distinguishes Eypeltauer, she scattered Rosen for the 29-year-old. So there was only one question for her: Will the success of the Pinkies on September 26th be “very big or outstanding”? It’s “nice that we have Felix,” said the party leader, referring to an election campaign poster by LH Thomas Stelzer (ÖVP) with the slogan: “It’s good that we have him.”
Out of the shadows, Eypeltauer stepped onto the stage to make it clear: “Give your voice a meaning and choose pink”, because the other parties had forgotten what they were elected for: “For the good of the citizens.” “We will remind you of this every day for six years,” he promised for the coming legislative period. He stood for a “policy of a new generation” – without “blah blah”, instead with “solutions” and “decency”, he quoted the catchwords of the poster campaign.
The focus is on “high quality and flexible childcare and education” as well as “future-oriented ideas for our economy” and against the shortage of skilled workers.
In 2015, the pink ones failed relatively clearly with 3.5 percent at the four percent hurdle. Opinion researchers currently see the NEOS at this limit. But Eypeltauer wants six percent and three state parliament mandates. Therefore he advertises his party as the only free opposition, since it would be in the proportional government without a seat of government. Around ten percent is necessary for such a thing.
