Candidate for the FPÖ

The day after the election, she was immediately dismissed

The day after the election, Amaliendorf's municipal employee Anna Rzepa (left), who was running for the FPÖ, was thrown out - which infuriated the local top candidate Anna Scherzer (center). SPÖ mayor and head of department Gerald Schindl counters.

Does the loss of the SPÖ's absolute majority in Amaliendorf in Lower Austria have anything to do with the job loss of a municipal employee who ran for the FPÖ? The blue party says yes, the red mayor and head of department says no. What's behind it, what the opponents have to say and why this could even become a case for the judge.

After the loss of the absolute SPÖ majority, there is fire under the roof in Amaliendorf in the district of Gmünd: there could - if the ÖVP wants - not only be a historic change of power, but also the first FPÖ mayor in the country, the "Krone" reported.
