The political situation in Heldenberg causes excitement: a new mayor is elected at the end of the month. The outgoing mayor Günther Brandstätter, who has announced a surprising resignation, is now in the focus of critical discussions within the People's Party.

"The situation is very stressful and we are all not happy with it," says Thomas Glanz, the Vice Mayor of the ÖVP, who runs the shops until the new election. In a recent Facebook posting, which has now been deleted again, sharp allegations against Brandstätter were raised, which are rejected by him as "pure nonsense". Brandstätter even threatened legal steps if he continues to be confronted with unsustainable claims.

reactions and emotions

In conversation with the NÖN, the shine explained that the posting was emotionally and hurtful, although the members of the People's Party discussed the further procedure after Brandstätter's resignation. "We have decided not to nominate a top candidate for the local council elections," said Glanz.

The allegations and the emotional reaction to the situation show how tense the situation within the ÖVP in Heldenberg is currently. With a new mayor on the horizon, the search for a successor to Brandstätter is urgently necessary, because the municipal elections are imminent.

"A new mayor will be elected at the end of November", Glanz continues. However, the events of the past few days could affect trust and cohesion within the party, while preparations are progressing for the election. For more information about this political tumult, see the report on www.noen.at .
