Austrian People's Party (Austrian People's Party)

Japanese: オーストリア国民党 - オーストリアこくみんとう（英語表記）Österreichische Volks Partei

One of the two major parties in Austria, along with the Austrian Social Democratic Party. Founded in 1945. A conservative party descended from the former Christian Social Party. In November 1945, the party won first place in the first general election held after World War II, and maintained a coalition government with the Socialist Party (now the Social Democratic Party) for a long time thereafter. In the general election of 1966, the party won a majority and established a People's Party-only government in April of the same year. However, in the general election of March 1970, the party lost to the Socialist Party and fell into opposition. It also lost consecutive general elections to the Socialist Party in 1971, 1975, and 1979. After the general election of 1986, it joined the Socialist-National Grand Coalition government headed by Socialist Party leader Franicki. It then lost votes to the Liberal Party in the general election of 1990, but continued to govern in coalition with the Social Democratic Party (the third Franicki government). This grand coalition framework continued after the general election in October 1994, but the KMT received its lowest number of votes since the war, and its lack of vote growth continued in the general election in December 1995.

オーストリア社会民主党と並ぶオーストリア二大政党の1つ。 1945年創立。旧キリスト教社会党の流れをくむ保守政党。 45年 11月，第2次世界大戦後行われた初の総選挙で第1党につき，以後社会党 (現社会民主党) と連立政権を長期間維持したが，66年の総選挙で過半数を獲得し同年4月国民党単独政権を樹立した。しかし 70年3月の総選挙で社会党に敗れ野に下った。また 71，75，79年の総選挙でも社会党に連敗。 86年の総選挙後社会党のフラニツキを首班とする社会＝国民大連合政権に加入する。その後 90年総選挙では自由党に票を奪われ後退したが，社会民主党との連合政権を持続させた (第3次フラニツキ政権) 。この大連立の枠組みは 94年 10月の総選挙後も継続したが，国民党は戦後最低の得票数しか得られず，95年 12月の総選挙でも票の伸び悩みは続いた。
