Black-red squabbling paves the way for the blues
The lawsuits, which have also been brought against the SPÖ, which was in power before the ÖVP, naturally play into the hands of the Freedom Party. The mayor, meanwhile, is skilfully putting himself in the limelight, appearing affable and praising local agriculture. And denies to the APA that his election campaign costs were charged to the municipality. At the same time, the SPÖ accuses him of deliberately making it more difficult for red party events to take place as mayor. And the FPÖ is rubbing its hands in glee ...
