Austrian People's Party
The
Austrian People's Party
(,
ÖVP
) is a
Christian democratic
and
conservative
political party in Austria
. A successor to the
Christian Social Party
of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it is similar to the
Christian Democratic Union
of Germany in terms of ideology, with both operating as
catch-all
parties of the centre-right. The Austrian People's Party was founded immediately following the reestablishment of the
Federal Republic of Austria
in 1945, and since then has been one of the two largest Austrian political parties with the
Social Democratic Party of Austria
(SPÖ). In federal governance, the ÖVP is currently the smaller partner in a coalition government with the SPÖ, with ÖVP party leader
Reinhold Mitterlehner
as
Vice-Chancellor of Austria
.
