Markus Sint: The opposition politician is fighting for East Tyrol's future!

Lienz, Österreich - Markus Sint, club chairman of the Fritz list in the Tyrolean state parliament, recently spoke in the podcast of dolomitenstadt about his political career, which is characterized by a journalistic training. The East Tyrolean, who asked over 300 inquiries to the government, criticized the dominant role of the ÖVP, which has been in power in Tyrol for 80 years. Sint describes the ÖVP as "power -conscious, but also obsessed with power" and believes that the current weakness of the party leads to an increase in clientele policy. In the podcast he also discusses current topics in East Tyrol, such as wind power, the Sillian ski swing and the political work of important local personalities.

historical parallels and regional identity

While Sint analyzes the current political landscape, the history of East Tyrol, as it is presented in an article by furrow , is reminiscent of Napoleon in the years 1809 and the loss after the incorporation of South Tyrol in 1919. These historical events are a steady Reminder to the unit and the resistance of the Tyroleans, especially East Tyrols. The struggle for freedom, characterized by willingness to sacrifice and the pursuit of identity and independence, is seen as a source of inspiration for the current political discussion.

eastern Tyrolean history and identity continues to demand the attention of political actors. Sint and other politicians have to deal with the challenges of today, while they rely on the deeply rooted beliefs of the people who are anchored in the fights of the past. This identity could possibly also influence the current political strategy and mobilization in the region, while people are trying to raise their voice in a still complicated political landscape.
