Linz's Social Democratic Mayor Dietmar Prammer discusses his stance on upcoming local elections and the political landscape in Austria. He responds to a survey by the Freedom Party (FPÖ) member Michael Raml, who claims the FPÖ is now on par with the Social Democrats (SPÖ) in Linz. Prammer dismisses this claim, noting that Raml failed to secure more than 30% of the vote in the previous mayor election. Prammer emphasizes that the focus should remain on local governance rather than national politics, particularly the influence of figures like Herbert Kickl of the FPÖ. He acknowledges challenges posed by rising right-wing sentiment across Europe but expresses confidence in the SPÖ's strong position in Linz due to its grassroots presence and effective local governance. Prammer also praises the work of the federal government and the SPÖ's ministers, despite ongoing criticism of some politicians.
