David Pöcksteiner: Scheibbs receives the first SPÖ mayor!

Scheibbs, Österreich - A historical change of power in Scheibbs is imminent! David Pöcksteiner from the SPÖ becomes the city's first mayor after the SPÖ received a coalition with the Citizens' List of the Environment and Community and Community of Scheibbs (Bugs). This is a remarkable upheaval, because since 1945 the ÖVP has continued to provide the mayor. The general choice has shown that the SPÖ has gained 9.2 percentage points, while the ÖVP lost 18.2 percentage points and thus lost the absolute majority. These developments have already been made by nön.at and noe.orf.at reported.

The only 34-year-old Pöcksteiner, who previously worked in the city council for culture, tourism and urban development and works professionally as a middle school teacher, can now implement his visions. Together with bugs, they now have 13 of the 25 municipal council mandates and thus a narrow majority in the municipal council. The coalition talks are located in the final phase, so that the concrete working agreement is to be determined in the coming days. Pöcksteiner was optimistic about this new partnership, which he described as a significant step for the city, and SPÖ state party executive Sven Hergovich was also pleased with this development.

The Scheibbser thus have an exciting future in front of them, and the political landscape could change significantly by this change in favor of the SPÖ. Pöcksteiner himself said with a view to the upcoming challenges: "I look forward to working with bugs and to create a positive impact for the city together." The citizens are excited to see which measures and initiatives the new mayors will put into operation.
