HC Strache failed colossally in the 2020 Vienna election. Regardless, he still has at least three chances to get the taxpayer’s pocket money.
Zack, zack, zack in politics? Heinz-Christian Strache suffered a crushing defeat in the 2020 Vienna elections and clearly failed at the necessary 5 percent hurdle. The former Vice Chancellor of the Republic, who fell into the abyss due to the Ibiza scandal and an ugly matter of expenses, probably still has 16 chances of getting some pocket money from the taxpayer despite the electoral rejection.
District council soon?
According to Sora’s current extrapolation, it should reach the district parliament in the city center, Leopoldstadt, Landstrasse, Favoriten, Simmering, Meidling, Hietzing, Penzing, Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus, Ottakring, Hernals, Döbling, Brigittenau, Floridsdorf, Donaustadt and Liesing. Strache, who had reportedly run as one of the top candidates in all 23 districts, would have to decide in which of the three regions to run for a district council seat. This position, of utmost importance in terms of democratic politics, receives a remuneration of 463.90 euros per month. Not the world, when you consider the expensive lifestyle Strache had a few months ago, with private jet travel around the world. Logical: with his salary as vice-rector (19,647.90 euros gross) even greater jumps were possible; the financial burden was also cushioned by a generous expense account.
In district 10 club status
In ten districts, Strache even managed two or three terms at the district level. This gives him club status and, as club president, he receives a gross transfer of 1,420.20 euros. It is quite possible that he will accept this offer in his home district of Landstrasse, where he began his political work in 1991, at that time as a councilor for the blue district.
Community building bonus
But the city of Vienna lives, as has often been underlined, social cohesion and also looks at the former world citizen with a soft spot for Ibiza. A private jet doesn’t quite work. And the free annual ticket for the Vienna metro, once granted by district councilors, is also a thing of the past. If things don’t turn out as expected in his business as an entrepreneur, the self-proclaimed “Viennese Original” will at least benefit from the “Vienna Bonus”. Mayor Michael Ludwig of all people introduced this and is intended to make it easier for Viennese to access protected housing. The new activity area of Strache, for example Favoriten, Floridsdorf or Donaustadt, has the beautiful Grätzl ready. And how “Today” He learned that the city is building cheap apartments everywhere. Of course, this only happens if Mama’s rented apartment on Landstrasse is too cramped for him, or if Strache wants to be closer to his voters.
Last stop on the garage TV?
What other job opportunities do you have after the takeover of the “Kronen Zeitung”, as everyone knows, did not work out? If HC wanted to remain loyal to the media industry, it could approach a Vienna channel operator who already supported it well during the election campaign. Better rates are reportedly paid there than in the district parliament. And Strache could meet regularly with longtime acquaintances at the studio, all discarded political dinosaurs that can no longer be placed in the private sector. Partly due to the lack of an impeccable reputation. This fate could soon overtake Strache too. But this is an other history. In any case, the indebtedness of discontent applies.
