Kurt Hohensinner: New challenge as a municipal council in Graz

The political structures in Graz are currently experiencing an exciting turn. Kurt Hohensinner, the head of the ÖVP, has played an additional role since Thursday, which is both surprising and necessary. That day he was officially praised as a municipal council by Mayor Elke Kahr (KPÖ) at a municipal council meeting. This decision follows the current list of lists with which the Graz ÖVP is faced.

Hohensinner himself explained that this step was of great importance for the party. Due to his new position, he can intervene directly in the local political discussions and decisions, which is of crucial relevance for the ÖVP, especially in times when the membership question and the public perception of the party are in focus. He would like to use the leap into the double role to strengthen the influence of his party in the Graz municipal council.

background and challenges

The decision to name Hohensinner as a municipal council is strongly shaped by the current situation situation of the ÖVP in Graz. The party has to deal with a decreasing number of members and a falling approval in the electorate. In this context, the double role as a strategic move is no coincidence. Hohensinner emphasizes that he intends to intensify the dialogue with citizens and political actors and to bring new impulses to the political committees. His commitment should help to restore lost trust and to increase the visibility of the party.

The challenge that Hohensinner now faces is to actually implement this influence. In a political climate that is characterized by different currents, it will not be easy for the new municipal council to assert itself. The reactions to his appointment will show how successful it can be to reposition the ÖVP in Graz and to consolidate its place in the political landscape.

Further Details on this development have already been reported by various sources, as listed on www.kleinezeitung.at . There are also the voices of other political actors who attentive to developments.

Overall, it can be seen that the takeover of this double function for Kurt Hohensinner is both a challenge and a chance. Despite the difficulties that can come to the ÖVP, one hopes to give new impulses through this initiative and to regain the interest of the citizens.
