Around a quarter of voters in the city of Salzburg voted for the KPÖ on Sunday. The SPÖ became the party with the largest number of votes, the ÖVP slipped into the abyss.
Since Sunday evening it has been Marx instead of Mozart on the Salzach. The Communists become the second strongest party after the SPÖ and enter the Salzburg municipal council with ten seats – at least plus nine mandates. Compared to the state elections in 2023, where they received 22 percent of the votes, they were even able to improve and achieved around 25 percent of the votes.
This means that every fourth Salzburg voter voted for the communists. The communists, previously only represented in the local parliament by Kay-Michael Dankl, increased their seats tenfold. “More and more people want a different, honest, social policy,” said Dankl in his first reaction to the result. Above all, he sees the great trust as a big order. He wants to give a voice to those people who are disappointed by politics and “people who open the letter with the next rent increase with trembling hands.” In the next five years, he wants to focus primarily on those people who are not super rich and who cannot manage it. The Salzburg communists scored points above all with one issue: the high cost of housing. As in Graz, which now has a communist mayor, the KPÖ hit a nerve with voters in Salburg.
