In a major interview, the new Provincial Councillor for Culture Karlheinz Kornhäusl (ÖVP) talks about his plans for the Styrian cultural scene. He is not yet able to give any details on the distribution of the budget, but he wants to "fight for every cent". And he also makes the scene itself responsible for "finding sponsors".

A large construction site, but light on the horizon: "For me, the picture by Alfons Pressnitz symbolizes the healthcare system a little," says Karlheinz Kornhäusl. It has recently been hanging in the office of the provincial councillor, who is now also responsible for the cultural agenda - for the first time in an FPÖ-ÖVP government. "I am aware of the responsibility," he says.
