The Austrian Social Democratic Party (SPÖ), led by Andreas Babler, is intensifying its campaign efforts as the parliamentary elections approach.

Despite trailing in the polls, Babler remains optimistic about overtaking the leading Freedom Party (FPÖ) and its head, Herbert Kickl.

The SPÖ's campaign focuses on economic reforms, including freezing rents and introducing new taxes on the wealthy, aiming to address issues like inflation and housing affordability.

Babler criticizes the current government for declining prosperity and positions the SPÖ as the only party committed to affordable healthcare and combating child poverty.

With slogans like "E-Card statt Kreditkarte," the SPÖ emphasizes its dedication to social welfare, hoping to resonate with voters seeking change.
