Dominik Nepp: The rise of the FPÖ star in Vienna's politics!

Wien, Österreich - On April 18, 2025, the political landscapes in Austria and Vienna are the focus of the public. The Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) recently achieved a historical victory in the National Council election in 2024. Under the leadership of Herbert Kickl, the FPÖ cheered a voter approval of almost 29 percent, which exceeds Jörg Haider's previous record from 1999. The ÖVP under Karl Nehammer suffers significant losses, while the SPÖ reaches the worst result of its history with 21.1 percent and falls back to third place. The NEOS and the Greens can also record minor gains, while all other parliamentary parties exclude cooperation with the FPÖ. The political upheavals lead to internal conflicts within the SPÖ and raise questions about reporting on the rise of the right.  Telepolis reports on these developments.

The focus of these changes is Dominik Nepp, born on February 14, 1982 in Vienna. He grew up in the capital, after his Matura at the Billrothstrasse high school, he worked in a retail company until 2015. Nepp, married to Barbara Nepp, who was sent to the ORF vultery council in 2018, has two daughters and is a passionate supporter of Hausmannkost. His interests include films with Bud Spencer and Terence Hill as well as a pronounced political commitment, which he took in his career on the way of the Ring Freedom Youth (RFJ). His political career from the district chairman to Vice Mayor of Vienna illustrates his constant growth within the FPÖ. Of course, a deep insight into his personal and political Act.

Nepp's political agenda

Under Nepp's leadership, the FPÖ has strengthened its position in Vienna as one of the strongest votes in the opposition to the Red-Pink city government. He pays special attention to topics such as the migration of replacement and demographic changes in Vienna. His demands include extensive measures such as an inflation compensation for the working population, higher salaries for doctors and nursing staff as well as moderate rental prices.

  • Torture compensation for working Viennese
  • Higher salaries for doctors and nursing staff
  • Vienna bonus for increased security measures
  • Minimum security exclusively for Austrians
  • reduction of rental prices and fees
  • Free Parkpickerl for all Wiener

NPP is an active critic of the expenses that Vienna has for people without Austrian citizenship. In his last public appearance, he called for the use of the Federal Army to combat gang wars in the city. Nepp also makes a name for itself on social media, but was criticized for alleged hate speech in 2022 and had to bend a lock that was finally lifted in 2023.

controversy and reactions

his often provocative statements, including the comment on a photo of women in headscarves in 2019, have led to allegations of xenophobia. On his social media channels, he is not afraid to express his opinion, even if this does not always meet with consent. The latest statements in which he described the newspaper of the standard as "shit sheet" illustrate the sometimes heated argument, which shapes his political career.

In the current political climate alignment, in which the FPÖ would like to further consolidate its position as the strongest force in Vienna, it remains to be seen how NPP will master the challenges of the next few months. The pressure is growing to compromise and respond to the concerns of the voters, while the political tensions in Austria are increasing.
