ÖVP Mariahilf demands more citizens' interests - SPÖ in the crossfire!

Mariahilf, Wien, Österreich - A storm of indignation is brewed across the Mariahilfer district after the SPÖ recently rejected important concerns of the population in the district parliament. The People's Party ÖVP Mariahilf is completely surprised by this coordination behavior and feels abandoned by the SPÖ, which still supported alcohol bans in December 2024. Gerhard Hammerer, the district party chairman, criticized the “180-degree turn” of the SPÖ in the middle of the election campaign and asks: “What is the mayor party afraid of?” An application to increase security in the pedestrian zone was also rejected, although many citizens feel threatened by cyclists and e-scooter drivers in the pedestrian zone. Marcel Scharton, top candidate of the ÖVP, emphasizes how disappointed the ÖVP about disregarding these legitimate claims, especially from older people and families with children.

It is exciting that despite the rejection by the SPÖ, several applications from the ÖVP, including the introduction of a permanent security service at the U6 station Gumpendorfer Straße and the reintroduction of city buses, were unanimously accepted. Nevertheless, the ÖVP politicians feel powerless because the SP city government regularly rejects their suggestions. The ÖVP announced that it continues to stand up for the concerns of the Mariahilfer citizens, while the SPÖ Mariahilf sees itself as an active player in the region and emphasizes that citizens are important to them. "Together in Mariahilf" is her motto that you live every day and which was once considered a cradle of social democracy, as you can present on your website.

the political tornness in Mariahilf

The conflicts between the ÖVP and SPÖ impressively show how important the political landscape in Mariahilf is. The SPÖ sees itself as a link between the population and the city government, while the ÖVP loudly represents the voices of the citizens. In the face of these political tactics, it becomes clear that the coming weeks in the district will be of crucial importance.
