ÖVP Secretary General Laura Sachslehner resigns, according to APA information. Saturday at 10 am, the ÖVP invited Sachslehner to make a “personal statement” at the headquarters of the federal party.
Last Friday evening, Sachslehner had so escalated a coalition dispute over the climate bonus for asylum seekers that it was called off by ÖVP club boss August Wöginger.
Sharp tone towards coalition partners
The secretary-general of the ÖVP had taken an extremely sharp tone to the Green coalition partner on Friday: if the Greens remain against withdrawing the climate bonus for asylum seekers, “a red line has been crossed for the People’s Party”. Green club chairman Sigrid Maurer reacted harshly, demanding that the ÖVP commit to the coalition.
Club boss August Wöginger Sachslehner then whistled back and emphasized: “The ÖVP has always been loyal to the pact and will be so in this case.”
