Burgenland’s governor Hans Peter Doskozil (SPÖ) emphasized on the sidelines of a press conference on Wednesday that he currently does not see any escalating leadership debate within the SPÖ – but with regard to the next national elections, in which the Social Democrats should claim first place, there will be “discussions,” he said.
He would have no problem with a member survey, said Doskozil on Wednesday. He does not want to fuel the current discussion about federal party leader Pamela Rendi-Wagner, “out of loyalty to Carinthia and Salzburg,” said the governor.
“Question, how do you position yourself”
In principle, however, he thinks it is important to ask questions before an election: “How do you position yourself? Are you exploiting the full potential?” Doskozil also said that he himself had “always argued the content” of party colleagues, not personally.

Doskozil can generally imagine member surveys. “It’s a very intensive, grassroots instrument and I don’t think anyone can resist a grassroots instrument.”

Regarding the results of the survey, in which the SPÖ has now lost first place, he said: “I just want to remind you that a short time ago we as SPÖ were in first place by far.” Rendi-Wagner was also at the top there confessed to the party. “It’s always ups and downs from there.”
