As Austria approaches its National Council elections, SPÖ leader Andreas Babler positions his party as a "firewall" against the FPÖ, warning of potential threats to democracy, women's rights, and media freedom under a possible FPÖ-ÖVP coalition.

Babler's campaign, marked by passionate speeches and a focus on social justice, aims to rally voters against the FPÖ's controversial stances.

He emphasizes the importance of voting for the SPÖ to protect democratic values and social equality.

Babler's grassroots approach, including personal appearances and direct appeals to voters, seeks to energize the electorate and prevent a shift towards right-wing policies.
