Vienna is a fantastic place to live in but every local or national election period is making my stomach turn. Poster spotted today in the 20th district.
"German is compulsory, Habibi"
"Make Vienna smart again"
This comes from the christian-democratic/liberal-conservatives. Worse posters exist.

Now I finally remember where I have seen the drone model shown in this poster before. It was presented at the farm machine industry development exhibition in early 2023. Later in June, another model was shown on Korean Central TV www.northkoreatech.org/2023/06/13/a...

35/ Main slogan: "Let us bring honor to the motherland with gold medals!"
Did you know that junior female football teams dominate the game? This year, both the U-17 and the U-20 team won the World Cup. Beating the USA and Japan probably helped the domestic excitement for the sport.

29/ Main slogan: "Let the people see real benefit!"
After all, someone has to consume all these products that everyone is supposed to work hard for. In the poster, we can see a happy nuclear family while grocery shopping. The (weirdly narrow) shopping cart is filled to the brim with products.

21/ Main slogan: "Vigorously carry out the increased production movement for more coal!"
Not as emphatically green but coal is still a vital source of energy in the DPRK. We can see a coal miner drilling(?) away while the plentiful yield is shown in the background. Wear your mask; safety first.
