Hallein’s local boss Alexander Stangassinger harshly criticized the measures.
The mayor of Hallein would have decided otherwise
The local head of Hallein, Alexander Stangassinger (SPÖ), criticized the lack of participation of the mayor. “Everything was decided by the governor himself, we were allowed to say something about it.” He would have liked a stronger differentiation. “Why does a community with zero or few cases have the same restrictions as a highly affected one?” He advocated a clear and transparent line based on the color of the respective traffic light. “Now everyone is grouped.” Stangassinger also calls for discipline.
Kuchl Mayor Thomas Freylinger (ÖVP) supports the measures imposed on Tennengau. “We have already implemented a lot.” He expresses doubts as to whether the imposition of a curfew on the catering industry will actually bring the desired success. It is essential that there are no more private parties. In his opinion, however, control will not be so easy because the municipality can only control public places with the police.
