    FPÖ promised a Russian oligarch governement contracts if they'd generate positive news stories for the party. They were so obviously corrpt, that they started losing in the polls. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibiza_affair

      The whole government resigned after the affair and there were new elections, in which the FPÖ lost a lot of votes, but the ÖVP won most of them

        Yeah, but now in Vienna most people who previously voted vor FPÖ stayed home or voted blank. OVP won a little bit, but a lot less then FPÖ lost.
