Wolfgang Sobotka’s golden grand piano awaits use in parliament. In his home country, the powerful ÖVP Niederösterreich, people are therefore “not amused” about the chairman of the National Council: they even want to remove his place on the electoral list.
It took a long time, but the art-loving chairman of the National Council finally realized that renting the gold wing was not the best signal amid record inflation. 3,000 euros in rent is an almost insignificant amount in relation to the renovation costs of 420 million euros. But 3,000 euros is exactly the amount that many Austrians do not have available as a monthly household budget. In this respect, the rental was a mistake.
