New wind in Gerasdorf: FPÖ takes over the city tour after elections!

in Gerasdorf, a city with 12,000 inhabitants north of Vienna, the FPÖ replaced the Social Democrats after the elections at the end of January and now provides the mayor for the first time in the second Republic. Dietmar Ruf, the designated new city leader, announced at a press conference that the city finances will have to be under control. He emphasized that "you can only spend as much money as you have" and asked for focus on essential municipal tasks such as the sewer system. "The flood events of the previous year have shown how important functioning infiltration basins are," said Ruf. Other plans include the construction of a nursing home as well as the expansion of public transport and childcare, such as noe.orf.at reported.

political upheaval and financial renovation

The FPÖ was able to increase by 16.67 percent in the elections, which secured a total of 12 seats in the local council. Ruf was honored as a preferred voting king because he received 1,129 votes in the election - as many as no other politician in Gerasdorf. The SPÖ, on the other hand, had to accept a loss of seats with a comparatively stable 37.84 percent and will still be represented in the municipal council with 14 seats. Ruf said that the decision for the new political alliance - a cooperation with the ÖVP - was not made against the SPÖ, but in the sense of a stable financial policy. "We will turn every stone around to create stable community finances," he emphasized. The designated mayor Kaldun Hana added that in the first steps you wanted to make savings in the committees to increase work efficiency as Kurier.at reported.

During the handover of the official business, the constituent municipal council meeting on Tuesday is an important date. The new city tour focuses on stabilizing the financial foundations of the community and plans to involve the city councils more to promote transparency and cooperation. The previous year's mayor, Hans Jürgen Peitzmeier from the SPÖ, had only briefly served in office and leaves a heir of high debts who would now like to counteract reputation and Hana.
