Politics in upheaval: Fuchs-Moser and Holzer surprisingly resign!

The political landscape in Korneuburg is seething: Deputy Mayor Helene Fuchs-Moser and City Councilor Hubert Holzer leave the stage in an unexpected way. Fuchs-Moser, who unexpectedly announced her resignation, cites her passionate commitment to families and social housing as essential components of her 15 years of work in her farewell letter. Despite a positive election result and 342 personal preferential votes, the ÖVP parliamentary group has made decisions that make further participation impossible for them. “I am so sorry for disappointing the people who believed in me,” she explains, finding her decision very surprising. The appreciation of her unconventional style of politics, which goes beyond party-political boundaries, also shows the esteem in which she was held, reported meinbezirk.at.

In the same breath, City Councilor Hubert Holzer takes stock and reflects on his abrupt departure: “I was dumped,” he draws a clear line on what happened. His frustration with the way his political career was ended is clear when he says: “Humanly, that was madness!” Holzer looks back on his tireless commitment to the city, but is disappointed that his political ambitions have now ended. These additional tensions within the ÖVP are not only an expression of internal conflicts, but could also question the entire political stability in Korneuburg. The departures of such prominent figures as Fuchs-Moser and Holzer are making many citizens sit up and take notice, while the Korneuburg ÖVP has to prepare for a possible reorganization in the political landscape NOEN reported.
