Holidays: Hagenauer dominates the city alone
politics
The Salzburg city councilor Anja Hagenauer (SPÖ) is the political sole ruler in Mirabell Palace these days. All other government colleagues are on vacation. With a wink, Hagenauer can feel like Empress Sisi in her castle.
Hagenauer often has little to laugh about politically with the monster department of social affairs. But these days she sometimes has a lot of fun when she strolls through her kingdom – as sole ruler, quasi the red queen of Salzburg: “It’s wonderful, the whole castle belongs to me. I am now happy to take complete power until the others are back.”
Politician pleads for more humor
The mayor, his two deputies and the green city councilor – all on vacation. Hagenauer enjoys the situation: “Politics should also be fun. There is so much seriousness in our lives. Sometimes we laugh too little and take some things far too seriously. We fight each other in politics instead of laughing together and finding a good solution.”
Franzl and Sisi, Heinrich and Anja
Then visitors come from the Chiemseehof, where the state government is based. LHstv. Heinrich Schellhorn (Greens) is currently number one at the state level because all other members of the government are on vacation there too.
Figure of the Queen on the window sill
Mirabell Palace is now a Hagenauer parlor for a few days. The people of Salzburg are also greeted graciously from the window by the sole ruler, her role model is on the window sill: Queen Elizabeth II, who still has a little more space available in Buckingham Palace in London.
