Wiener Zeitung: Coalitions form, dividing Nationalrat in two; Czech National Organization urges Czech citizens to "vote with meat, urine, and vinegar" in upcoming Czech Presidential elections

Two major coalitions have been announced, representing the two major ideologies in Austria - socialism, the ideology of the left, and solidarism, that of the center and right.

The socialist alliance, known as the National Front, was formed of the Communist and Social-Democratic parties, holding a mixed platform which aspires to a gradual approach toward a non-market form of socialism. It holds 55 seats in the Nationalrat, and 30 in the Bundesrat.

The solidarist alliance - the Democratic Front - was formed of the Green and People's Parties, as well as Social Austria. Its platform is primarily economic, due to disagreements over a number of social issues, especially homosexuality. It is in support of an economy comprised mostly of independent contractors, protected and united by the trade organizations. It holds 45 seats in the Nationalrat, and 22 in the Bundesrat.

The current government will remain in place, supported by both newly formed alliances.

In other news, the Czech National Organization has urged Czech citizens to attempt to spoil ballots in an attempt to "rebuild socialism" in the Democratic Republic of Czech Slavia.

Large speakers installed at the Czech border, capable of being heard up to 6 km away, are currently playing a number of messages which implore Czech citizens to resist the election with all their might:

"For the preservation of the Czech nation and democracy, vote with meat, urine, and vinegar!"

"Albína Reiserová shall sell you, all that you own, and your workplaces to the Kligenbergs for their depraved uses! You, your children, and your grandchildren shall work forever in servitude if you allow her and her thugs to come to power! Resist the election! Barricade the polling places! Destroy the polling boxes! Spoil your ballots!"

"Workers must be the masters of their trade, their workplaces, their work itself! Albína Reiserová stands against this; she wishes to steal these from you, your birthrights, and give them to thieves! Stop her terrible wishes with all your might; stand against them! Take firm control of your workplaces, of your trades, of your labor and its products! Do not let this woman, the employee of those who wish to enslave you, torture you, steal from you!"

"Destroy all ballots! Pour vinegar, pour ink into the ballot boxes! Seize your places of work; seize control over all aspects of your labor! Seize control over the state that wishes to take your birthright from you!"

These messages, among many others, were also printed or written down and attached to balloons which were then floated over the Austrian-Czech border.

All this was accompanied by the installation of extremely large signs, one of which, considered to be the most memorable, depicted Reiserová forcing the Czech people into sweatshops, over which members of the Kligenberg family stood. Inside these sweatshops were many others, sobbing as they were beaten by faceless guards.
