Self-criticism from the red mayor: “It doesn’t get much worse”
Even with the SPÖ, the mood is rather mau. The popular mayor of Traiskirchen, Andreas Babler, explains self-critically: “It doesn’t get much worse than that.” Babler also found the reaction following the election – the election goal of breaking the absolute of the ÖVP – was “unbearable” and ” an insult to all officials”. He admits that the SPÖ “of course made many mistakes”. “We have forgotten many of our principles”, according to Babler was one of these mistakes.
