Subsidy in Götzis: Böhmwalder vs. Längle - who wins the race?
Manfred Böhmwalder, who has only been in office as Mayor of Götzis for a year and a half, faces the decisive election of the mayor. In the first round of the election, the ÖVP politician achieved 43 percent of the vote, while his challenger, the non-party Christoph Längle, received 22 percent. Längle leads the Götzis civil movement and is in the runoff election for the first time. The choice takes place after an exciting race, which is also characterized by controversial topics such as gravel mining and schooling. This reported Orf Vorarlberg .
The focus of the discussion is the controversial gravel deal between Götzis and Altach and the high costs for the renovation of the elementary school Markt. Böhmwalder defends the offer for gravel mining, according to which 30 percent of the proceeds flow to Götzis, and sees an increase to 56 percent through a future fund. Landle, on the other hand, criticizes that the negotiations were inadequate. In addition, the planned renovation of the elementary school ensures turmoil, since the cost of 36 million euros, which Böhmwalder describes as exaggerated, are in focus. Längle states that this sum has been confirmed by the municipality's financial department. The situation will be deepened on Tuesday evening in a live TV duel of the two candidates so that voters can get an idea of the different positions. According to goetzis.at , the effectiveness of Längle's previous municipal council is questioned, while Böhmwalder emphasizes the challenges and progress in recent years.Another central topic is the tense financial situation of the municipality, which has risen sharply since 2005 and is now in debt at 49 million euros. Längle and Böhmwalder argue about the causes and the strategy for coping with debt. Langle demands more transparency and better information for the citizens. This debate is not only crucial for the choice, but also for the future development of Götzis, since the turnout and trust of the citizens play a central role. The outcome of the runoff election could have far -reaching effects on future politics and the municipal administration.
