- Babler said Zeiler’s move was no reason for him to withdraw from party leadership.
- He cited his March reelection and a clear mandate received six months earlier.
- Regarding a possible Zeiler candidacy, Babler cited existing rules and said it currently amounted only to rumors.
- Under the statutes, ten percent—around 13,000 members—can trigger a direct election; the board may convene a special party congress.
I believe that in the near future it will become clear that the public pressure within the party will be so strong that even the party chairman will see that it is better to step down.— Peter Pelinka, longtime journalist who advises Zeiler, told Ö1.
