In an interview with the "Krone" newspaper, the mayor-elect reflected on the first few hours after his triumph - Prammer looks out of the window of the City Senate Hall at his Linz.

Away from the Brucknerhaus affair and the decision on the future head of the SPÖ provincial party, Dietmar Prammer (50) spoke to the "Krone" between winning the election and taking office: about egg dishes, unwanted emotions and surprising well-wishers, as well as future challenges and his plans for Linz.

Boxes and crates are being packed. The designated mayor of Linz, Dietmar Prammer (50), will then move into the mayor's office next week. Nevertheless, he met the "Krone" on Monday in the Old Town Hall - just a few rooms away from the room where he himself shed a few tears on Sunday afternoon - although he wanted to avoid it - when he looked his mother in the eye after the results were announced.
