After internal criticism: Vienna ÖVP calls for round table



[ad_1]

Internal criticism is strong: it is incomprehensible that something like this could happen. Heiml was in the top 30 on the state list. “With such prominent positions you have to do a background check on all candidates in advance and choose them carefully,” he complains.

Others criticize the zipper system, in which men and women alternate on the charts: Heiml was only nominated by the district because a woman was needed.

You don’t want to leave him standing at party headquarters: you’ve known Heiml for three years, she completed the internal mentoring process “with a good grade.” There was also a projection. Heiml was “motivated”. On Tuesday she was expelled from the party at the bureau meeting.

Preferential voting system suspended

Since you are refusing to resign, can you Jan Ledochowski (with 1,785 preferential votes) and Suha Dejmek-Khalil (1,168) did not move to the municipal council. The ÖVP has “temporarily suspended” its internal preferential voting system, as they say.

Others put it more drastically: “The preferential voting system is dead. No one can trust in the future that the agreements will stand.” At least one of the two, who now loses measure, could complain, can be heard.

In ÖVP people are relaxed: if necessary, Heiml will remain harmless. For the moment, trust the reconciliation. Ledochowski and Dejmek, who come from the Christian camp and brought many voters, are “very dear to the party.” Think about how they can participate in the future.

Fresh wind?

The ÖVP Club was established on Tuesday. It has 22 leaders, 15 more than in the previous period. The challenge: only five of them have City Hall experience, 17 are newcomers.

What some consider “an opportunity to breathe fresh air”, others see it critically: “Some have never appeared in urban politics”. Newcomers include, for example, Peter L. Eppinger, “Voice of Movement” (by Sebastian Kurz), and Markus Gstöttner, deputy Chief of Staff von Kurz. For Gstöttner to get the mandate, it was Isabelle jungnickelwho was on the list before him, unceremoniously elevated to city councilor, is recorded.
