Florian Kreibich will not sign the government program for the city of Salzburg on Tuesday. This decision was made on Monday evening by the presidium of the Salzburg ÖVP.

On Tuesday, shortly before midday, the city government will sign and present its program. The ÖVP will not sign the paper, the party decided in its executive committee on Monday evening.

Mood was strained recently
The mood between the SPÖ and ÖVP has suffered considerably over the past week. On the surface, however, not because the mayor's seat has returned from black to red after six and a half years. It was the lack of Florian Kreibich's signature on the party manifesto.

ÖVP sees "no-go"
As reported, the ÖVP has the biggest headaches when it comes to finances and housing. "We don't want debt to become a program," says future ÖVP party leader Delfa Kosic. The Land Acquisition Act, which has not been applied for a long time and can also lead to expropriation in extreme cases, is also included in the paper. For the ÖVP, this point is an "absolute no-go".

Theoretically, Florian Kreibich can still change his mind by midday on Tuesday. "His hand remains outstretched. He can also come by spontaneously and sign," says future mayor Bernhard Auinger.
