Unrest in the ÖVP Vienna: Mahrer under pressure before the election!

in Vienna, it is bubbling in politics! The chairman of the Vienna ÖVP, Karl Mahrer, is under massive pressure. The reason for this is the investigation due to possible infidelity in connection with the Causa Vienna value, in which payments to the PR agency of his wife are in focus. Mahrer continues to be unshakable, as he emphasized at a press conference entitled "More Safety, Less Exzten", but media reporting causes great unrest in his own ranks. "There is no excitement within the party," he tried to smooth the waves, but critics like Chamber of Commerce President Walter Ruck express serious concerns and describe the situation as "serious".

reactions to the indictment

like MeinDZIRD , Mahrer was already warned of a possible indictment. Nevertheless, he announced that he would move into the upcoming Viennese elections on April 27 as the top candidate. Despite the internal party turbulence and the pressure that is on him, Mahrer emphasizes that people stand behind him and that he is sure of his cause. While Ruck talks about the fact that Mahrer underestimates the situation, he remains optimistic and wants to hold the party together. The nomination of the candidates will take place next Friday, February 21, a decisive course for the future of the ÖVP in Vienna.

The coming days will be decisive. The pressure on Mahrer is growing and his leadership is put to the test. The fact that his possible rival, Walter Ruck, was traded in the media as a potential takeover of the party chairmanship, does not make the situation easier. It remains to be seen whether Mahrer can do justice to responsibility and claim his position. A shadow is above the ÖVP Vienna - the upcoming elections could decide on the future of the politician, which the party brought more than just a few challenges through his reports.
