Resignation of the Mayor of Vösendorf: Shocking turns!

In a dramatic turning point in Lower Austrian politics, the mayor of Vösendorf, Hannes Koza, announced his resignation after being suspected of having faked an attack on himself. According to reports from the Meinverzirk , Koza, which was initially assumed and injured in Vösendorfer Schlosspark. Even photos of his facial injuries were published and an advertisement were filed. But now the public prosecutor has announced that Koza is no longer managed as a victim but as a suspect.

his alleged crime of December, in which he was apparently so intimidated by an unknown person that he feared for his own life and went to the hospital, is increasingly criticized. Koza decided at short notice to resign as mayor on Thursday evening. In his declaration of withdrawal on Facebook, he spoke of a "personally stressful time" and revealed his intention to take advantage of professional help after admitting mistakes. While the opposition parties, led by the SPÖ, resigned their mandates and thus made the municipal council incapable of action, the ÖVP sees the situation as an opportunity for a "restart" by offering the SPÖ the Vice Mayor position. Orf reported that the municipal council is now without the required two-thirds majority. A withdrawal from everyone who does not work within a week could result in new elections and change the political landscape considerably.

The political reactions to Koza’s resignation are clear: the FPÖ described the resignation as the "only correct consequence" after the serious allegations against the mayor. In the meantime, the SPÖ said that it was a "absolutely necessary, correct and alternative step" for the community. The political pressure on Koza is growing, and the situation could have far -reaching consequences for political stability in Vösendorf.
