After Mayor's Resignation: "Political Restart" Aimed in Vösendorf

"We are initiating a political restart in Vösendorf," announced Vice Petross on Monday, who has temporarily taken over the affairs of the municipality. The SPÖ, as the second strongest faction, has been offered the position of vice mayor.

"Want to Focus on More Collaboration"

"Despite our absolute majority, we want to focus on more collaboration in Vösendorf in the future," emphasized Petross. Committees are to be "revived" and dedicated project teams for topics such as curbing development, finances, and traffic are to be established, in which an expert from each faction can develop decision-making bases for the other municipal bodies. Under the motto "Cash Audit - we have nothing to hide," comprehensive insight into the municipal finances will be granted, it was stated. Additionally, a code of conduct will be developed so that a livestream of municipal council meetings can be offered again quickly. "First meetings have already taken place with the SPÖ and the V2000 list. Our hand is extended and we will continue to seek discussions with the other factions in the municipal council," Petross announced.

Attack Fabricated: Koza Admits to Allegations

The public prosecutor's office in Wiener Neustadt is investigating Koza on suspicion of feigning a punishable act, according to his lawyer, he has confessed. The alleged attack was said to have occurred late at night in December 2024 on the way home from the municipal office in the Vösendorf castle park, the then-mayor had stated. During the investigation, Koza became a suspect. Last Thursday, he announced his resignation. He stated that he had "crossed boundaries" and hurt people, and now he wants to seek "professional help," Koza announced. The SPÖ then called for a political fresh start.
