The former head of the FPÖ and vice chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache gave an interview to the magazine News declares that he does not want to accept a mandate at the district level.
“I myself, of course, will remain a political person, but I certainly will not be a district councilor, but I will support future district councilors from Strache’s team whenever I can,” the online report was quoted as saying. Instead, he wanted to work as an entrepreneur and founded a magazine to give the HC team a media forum.
Surprise for party
Secretary General Christian Höbart was somewhat surprised by Strache’s statement when asked by the APA. The matter should have been discussed at the board meeting that night.
In fact, Strache had already said internally that he did not intend to accept a mandate from the district council. Höbart did not want Strache’s decision to be finally set in stone at today’s meeting.
