Nearly Two Thirds of Austrians Think Their Country Is a Lost Cause
European Conservative ^ | 07 02 2025 | Zolta Győri

Disillusionment with Austria’s federal government is deepening, with recent surveys highlighting a dramatic erosion of public trust amid rising inflation and growing social unrest, according to a Lazarsfeld study conducted in late May.

61% of respondents shared that they do not care if the governing coalition lasts or not. The population seems to be apathetic about their own country, since almost two-thirds of the population deems it a ‘lost cause.’ Austrians continue to grapple with high inflation and soaring energy costs, while the government is perceived as jumping from crisis to crisis.

Criticism has mounted over Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger’s foreign aid commitments, with many Austrians frustrated by generous international spending while domestic struggles grow more severe. “Many people here no longer know how to pay their rent,” notes the Exxpress. Meanwhile, State Secretary Sepp Schellhorn has come under fire for purchasing a fleet of luxury ministerial cars funded by taxpayer money.

Once those 2/3’s figure out that they are still THE MAJORITY (at least for now), then, maybe, they’ll figure out that their real enemy is NOT in Moscow, or DC, but rather in Brussels, and Vienna.

The electorate needs to take a hard look in the mirror. They have only themselves to blame.

In Vienna, 75% of students in middle school are Muslims. They are finished. WTF was the point of even defeating them at the Battle of Vienna in 1683? Well, at least we got Haydn and Mozart. But it’s all over now.

Austria was a lost cause during the First World War. They’ve been begging to be conquered for over 100 years.

Moslems Green energy hoax socialism world wide communist government. Zero national identity. A dictatorship of the un elected bureaucrats against the local people. In the year of their Ford. Brave new world. In the future of their Marx. Manufacturing of the local slaves. Mind control. Or gulags. Gulags for freedom lovers.
