After the ten days duration of the crisis was not only the ÖVP-FPÖ government, at the end, but also through the first no-confidence vote in the Austrian history of his office of trust to be excused. The social-democratic SPÖ and the on the side of the political opponents of the ÖVP changed the FPÖ had the then 32-Year-old brought down.
The SPÖ, under Pamela Rendi-Wagner managed to thunder a political Penalty in the night sky of Vienna. On the evening of the EU elections on 26 October. May 2019 announced a poorly lit Rendi-Wagner, and the failure of no-confidence for the next day. The social Democrats in the EU election were held just once you a result, the ÖVP but significantly.

Its Occurrence on the island of Ibiza is to be seen in the sense of a self-reflection part is very critical, but he didn’t do anything illegal. The Only thing he ankreidet according to his own words, as a fault, is his resignation from the FPÖ-party leader. “He had very short, localised phases of repentance”, says Dr. filzmaier.
