Local council election results of Enotna Lista 2003

The Enotna Lista ( German : unity list , abbreviation: EL ) sees itself as a collecting party of the Carinthian Slovenes .

Since the proportion of Carinthian Slovenes is below the basic mandate threshold for the Carinthian Landtag , it can only partially meet the claim to represent the Carinthian Slovenes at the state level. However, it is represented in numerous local councils in the bilingual area . The number of municipal council members who are provided by the EL is currently 47 and 3, who are from the Joint List of Greens and Unity List (GEL) (as of 2009) from a total of 2,552. With Franz Josef Smrtnik (EL) in Eisenkappel-Vellach , since March 2009, for the first time in the history of Carinthia, a representative of the unified list has held the office of mayor.

Membership in and participation in the party is open to members of all ethnic groups.

The Enotna Lista works closely with the South Carinthian farmers ( Skupnost južnokoroških kmetov ), who received 8.7% of the votes in the 2011 Chamber of Agriculture elections and thus received 3 mandates for the first time and have since held parliamentary group status.

history

Since 1890, Slovenian lists have been running regularly at municipal level. In the interwar period they organized themselves in the Koroška slovenska stranka , which regularly made it into the Carinthian state parliament .

In 1973, through the amalgamation of various Slovenian municipal councils, the Club of Slovenian Municipal Councils was created as the forerunner of the EL. Through a cooperation with the Greens and the Liberal Forum (LIF) , the club provided a member of the Austrian National Council from 1986 to 1990 (under chairman Karel Smolle) and from 1998 to 1999 (under chairman Andrej Wakounig) with Karel Smolle .

The EL emerged in 1991 from the Club of Slovenian Municipal Councils. In the same year, the EL chairman was elected for the first time to represent the Slovene ethnic group on the regional board of the Carinthian Association of Municipalities . In 2006 the EL became a full member of the European Free Alliance . In the National Council elections in 2008 , the EL worked again with the LIF: The ethnic group representative Rudi Vouk was the top candidate for the LIF in Carinthia and its constitution spokesman, for which the EL supported the Liberal Forum in the election campaign. The defining chairmen were Andrej Wakounig and, after him, Vladimir Smrtnik. In 2014 Gabriel Hribar took over the chairmanship. Even then he declared that he wanted to transfer the EL from an ethnic group to a regional party, on the one hand to think more holistically about the problems of the people in the ethnic group and, on the other hand, to address voters outside the ethnic group.

In 2017, the EL decided, together with other representatives of various municipal voter groups in Southern Carinthia, to set up an election platform for the Carinthian state elections in 2018 under the name Mein Südkärnten - Moja južna Koroška . Later, the platform agreed with NEOS to run together under the NEOS - My Southern Carinthia - Moja Južna Koroška list.
