The story reads almost like a thriller: a young politician is swallowed up by the earth. Calls and messages remain unanswered, no one opens the front door when you visit. And that for weeks.
All this is happening in Vienna right now. More precisely: at the ÖVP in Vienna. The president is called Antonia heiml, hails from district 22 and ran for the local council ÖVP. Far back on the list, in a desperate place. But now the young politician is overturning the entire preferential voting system of her party.
The ÖVP has established its own system, parallel to the legal rules for preferential votes, to ensure that candidates are classified if they are written on the ballot by enough voters.
No blank waiver
The obstacles to a priority in the internal system are less than the legal requirements. The goal: to motivate candidates to run to vote. To rank first on the state list under the turquoise system, a candidate needs around 800 to 1000 preferential votes. (The exact calculation is complex).
Now it’s getting technical: for a candidate to actually receive his term according to ÖVP’s internal system, all the candidates on the list before him must resign their seat on the municipal council. Parties often get blank waivers up front so that there are no mandate issues later. The Vienna ÖVP was based on an “equity agreement” that everyone had to sign. And that Heiml doesn’t stick. No one can explain that exactly.
The ÖVP now simply wants to “suspend” its internal preferential voting system. This is to prevent Heiml from getting the mandate to which he is now paradoxically owed (since everyone else resigned before her).
Internally, this causes problems. Because that’s how two candidates fall for his seat on the municipal council: Jan Ledochowski (with 1,785 preferential votes) and Suha Dejmek-Khalil (1,168 preferential votes), who would have made the leap. Instead I should now Sabine schwarz Y Markus Grießler received a mandate.
Heiml threatens, as soon as he finds them, with a process of expulsion from the party, as can be heard from the ÖVP.
Karl Mahrer resigned
The problem comes at an inopportune time: tonight the Turquoise party committees are meeting and are supposed to decide on future leadership positions. Another personnel decision is already fixed, as partisan circles say: the member of the National Council Karl Mahrer does not accept his mandate in the municipal council.
As KURIER reported, the other positions are already fixed: Isabelle jungnickel Y Bernadette Arnoldner become non-executive councilors. As you can hear, Jungnickel should address the issues of “performance, economy and affordable housing”, Arnoldner of “integration, safety and transparency”. Become club president Markus Wölbitsch.
The third president of the council is in the future Elisabeth olischarwhich also deals with the issue of urban planning. Manfred Juraczka becomes third speaker of the state parliament. The two Federal Council seats should be Elisabeth wolff Y Harald himmer Let’s go.
