Scandal in Absdorf: Mayor sells municipal assets in the shade!

Absdorf, Österreich - In Lower Austria, a real estate business of the Absdorfer ÖVP mayor Franz Dam ensures excitement. The mayor sold a property that he belonged to the municipal real estate company to a company that is closely connected to it. Only a short time later, the property was sold to a residential building company with a profit of over EUR 200,000 without structural services being performed for this transaction. These processes were referred to by the green club chairwoman in the Lower Austrian state parliament, Helga Krimmer, as "scandal", such as Viennaer Zeitung reported.

Krimmer emphasizes that the citizens of Absdorf have the right to be informed about how to deal with their tax money. It calls for a complete disclosure of all relevant documents and criticizes the ÖVP for making it clear instead of transparency. According to Krismmer, this is not an isolated case, but a sign of a systemic problem within the ÖVP. "The black sheep have long been a herd!", She says and therefore calls for legal tightening in property transactions in the municipal area to prevent similar incidents in the future. "Clear transparency regulations are needed so that mayor can no longer enable private profits at the expense of taxpayers," explains Krismer, who refers to an initiative application for the base culture instead of profit greed in the state parliament, which the Greens brought in almost a year ago, such as noe.gruene.at reported.
