What was planned as a liberation mutates into a merciless political struggle for survival for Pamela Rendi-Wagner. Their plan that all SPÖ country heads would run for them and their question of trust in their respective federal states may be somewhat unrealistic. “She went it alone, now she has to do it alone,” said several top SPÖ officials. The Viennese SPÖ – Michael Ludwig had always saved Rendi-Wagner again and again as party leader – wants to concentrate on her election campaign and makes no recommendation. Yesterday Rendi-Wagner and her manager Christian Deutsch made a pilgrimage to the town hall. However, only to give a lecture to former mandates. In Lower Austria, Carinthia, Burgenland, Styria, Tyrol and Salzburg, you don’t want to go on an advertising tour for the SP boss either. Ex-SPÖ boss Christian Kern managed 7.5 percent in a member survey and another 22 percent in participation. Rendi-Wagner now needs “at least 30 percent. If it is underneath, it will have to go, ”said a red man.
Rendi is fighting
The party leader herself now wants to tour all of the federal states with her confidant German to motivate the members to express their trust. She now puts everything on one card.
