Mario Gerber: New hope for the Tyrolean People's Party!

Innsbruck politics is facing a change, because the Tyrolean People's Party (ÖVP) announces a new beginning with Mario Gerber. Gerber takes on the role of the city party chairman after the resignation of Florian Tursky and sees a challenging legacy that he wants to tackle without "ifs and but". Supported by the state party, Gerber strives to form a strong team while the time is for the next state election. His deputies should include top -class members such as the works council chairwoman of Swarovski, Selina Eder, and pediatrician Julian Margreiter, as reported on ORF Tirol

elections in Innsbruck move closer

At the same time, Innsbruck is preparing for the upcoming elections on April 14, 2024. The city has already prepared the election documents for 154 sprinkles. Mayor Willi emphasized the need to stop the "escalation spiral" in the political debate. This is done in the context of a controversy, which was fired by a now deleted video by the SPÖ boss Benjamin Plach. A politician, which the Greens referred to as a dirty campaign, is said to have occurred. The mayor calls not to tolerate such political practices because they are reminiscent of darker times of German politics.

cultural return and controversy

In the meantime, the popular piano player Eddie Friel returns to Café Manna after he was denied access to the performance in 2020. The mayor candidate Florian Tursky proudly presented that the piano music is now part of the sounds of Innsbruck again. However, this happens against the background of a debate about the unequal treatment of musicians in the city, since street musicians can continue to carry out their performances without restrictions, while the pianist is opposed to legal hurdles. Meinzärzirk emphasizes that these different standards trigger excitement within the population.
