Michael Ludwig stands behind his party leader Pamela Rendi-Wagner. The mayor of Vienna has already made that clear. The SPÖ actually wanted to clarify the dispute between Rendi-Wagner and Burgenland’s regional head Hans Peter Doskozil by means of a member survey. But by Friday, around a dozen candidates had registered – and by the party conference in June there might be even more. One thing is clear to Ludwig: he doesn’t want to, and he wants the debate to end. quick.
