Wiener Neustadt's Mayor Leads People's Party

Mayor Klaus Schneeberger, in office since 2015, is once again leading the People's Party. He not only has 30 years in the state parliament, 23 of them as club chairman, behind him, but also the personal committee "We for Schneeberger 25" in view of the municipal election. The Freedom Party's Secretary General Michael Schnedlitz was deputy mayor for the past ten years, but is now no longer running.
