Description
"It will be difficult," says Vienna's incumbent mayor, Michael Ludwig, during the inauguration of a new sports arena ahead of elections on Sunday. While Ludwig's Social Democrats -- which have ruled 'red' Vienna continuously since the end of World War II -- look set to win again, they could possibly see their worst result ever, with the far-right Freedom Party (FPOe) coming second. "We are generally experiencing a shift to the right in Europe, but in Vienna, we have always been a strong bastion against this development," Ludwig adds. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
