2009 Landtag elections in Vorarlberg
A NBZ list was announced to take part in the 2009 Vorarlberg state election, 2009, but this led to such a controversy that its leader, Adnan Dincer,[5] announced on 2 April 2009 the decision not to take part as such in these elections.[6]
Finally, several NBZ candidates were included on a common list including five minor parties, including the Communist Party of Austria, Die Gsiberger (GSI).[7] Gsiberger is Vorarlberg's inhabitants nickname given by other Austrians because of some peculiar expression in their Alemannic (not Austro-Bavarian as in other parts of Austria) dialect. The anticorruption Euro-MP Hans-Peter Martin supported this list "in order to counter parties oligopoly".[7] "Die Gsiberger" got 3,042 votes (1.74%) and no representative.[8]
Political ideology
The party claims to be for Austrians of a Turkish immigrant background, but insists that it is not purely Turkish or Islamic. The party supports Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and opposes the 2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt.
