The Neos are introducing a new demand in the election campaign before the mayoral and municipal council elections in the city of Salzburg.
Neos mayoral candidate Lukas Rupsch is making people sit up and take notice in the election campaign: He is calling for the abolition of the proportional representation system for Salzburg and the other 15 statutory cities in Austria. But only the federal government can decide on changes. “That’s not possible.” “A communist and an identitarian together on the government bench – that’s not possible!” For a healthy parliamentary democracy, clear lines are needed between the government and the opposition,” says Rupsch. At the state level, proportional representation was abolished in 1998.
