Serious riots by young migrants on Halloween night surprised police and politicians. Linz SPÖ mayor Klaus Luger (61) talks about imported hatred, false tolerance and his counter-proposal against the deportation plans of the ÖVP interior minister.
Saturday morning in the old town hall of Linz. Formerly a chapel, the mayor’s office has a masonry bay window with stained glass windows dating back over 300 years. “Pure history,” says Klaus Luger, after all, he’s not religious, never has been. “I’m probably the only politician in the area who doesn’t wear a traditional costume,” explains the social democrat, who was once a communist in his younger days. On the desk is a picture of the patchwork family and on the wall is a two-by-two-metre pastel photograph by the artist Gottfried Mairwöger entitled ‘Under milk wood’. It is a maximum of 17 degrees, a result of the energy-saving measures for public buildings. He doesn’t mind. “I prefer the cold over the heat.” The front page of “Krone” with the headline is on the table: What’s left of this night? What is meant is Halloween night, when 129 youths rioted and terrified the city.
