Sunday’s tough electoral defeat has consequences for Team HC Strache employees. They have to clean their desks.
Former FPÖ boss Heinz-Christian Strache, who had fallen into the abyss, was able to get just 3.27 percent of the vote in Sunday’s Vienna municipal elections as the driving force behind his new “Team HC Strache”. He missed his entry into the city council, after all, the mandates for the district parliaments were won in 16 districts. Strache himself does not want to accept such a thing.
Money concerns?
Due to these mandates, party funding in Vienna provides around 350,000 euros for his party, annually and for the next five years, despite Strache’s grandiose failure. The HC Strache team would be entitled to a total of € 1.75 million until the next election, assuming that the next coalition lasts five years. With this money, the loans will be canceled, Strache said Wednesday in an interview with Puls4 Info chief Corinna Milborn. The remainder of the work is intended to support the work of the HC district councils.
So far, four leaders, Strache Vehicle founders Karl Baron, Klaus Handler and Dietrich Kops, who have resigned from the FPÖ, have served on the municipal council. These seats are gone, and with them a lot of money from party funding. The result: a reduction in the number of employees. As one PR employee writes on Facebook, Thursday was his last day: “The entire office has been laid off as of today.” But there should be no bad feelings towards Strache: “It was an honor,” writes the former employee. Four employment relationships were terminated and the lease was terminated on Ebendorferstrasse, not far from City Hall, in the city center of Vienna.
