Waldhäusl criticizes: no blessing at the indoor pool in Waidhofen

A new indoor pool was opened in Waidhofen on Wednesday, November 13th. This event should have been a festive occasion, but the City Councilor Gottfried Waldhäusl from the FPÖ expressed his dissatisfaction that there was no blessing by the responsible clergy at the opening.

Waldhäusl emphasized that such beneficial rituals appreciate important traditions and at the same time promote cultural cohesion in the community. In his view, the blessing of such a significant project as an indoor pool is not only a religious gesture, but also a sign of respect for the investments for the local infrastructure.

criticism and controversy

The absence of a blessing led to a discussion about the importance of traditions in modern events. Waldhäusl demands that such customs should be taken into account in future openings in order to preserve the cultural roots of the region. The FPÖ sees this question not only as a matter of religious customs, but as part of a greater understanding of culture within society.

The opening of the indoor pool, which is supposed to offer numerous leisure opportunities, is the focus of the city administration. Waldhäusl's criticism nevertheless came to the wrong time, since the city wants to focus on the positive aspects of this new facility. While the city leaders emphasize the practical advantages and the increase in the quality of life through the bathroom, the discussion about traditions remains an exciting topic in local politics.
