After fifteen years, the head of the authority, Klaus Brandner, is retiring. The issue of the successor is causing a stir among the opposition, as Carinthia’s district governors are among the most powerful officials in the country.
The highly decorated position in Carinthia’s largest district would actually only be filled on Tuesday during the state government meeting, but the result of the objectification process is said to have already leaked out: according to this, Markus Lerch – previously deputy district captain – is to succeed Klaus Brandner. The head will retire from December after 15 years in this position.
The successor question makes politicians sit up and take notice
Carinthia’s district governors are among the most powerful officials in the country, and logically the question of successors also makes politicians sit up and take notice. For example, Gerhard Köfer, the boss of Team Carinthia and mayor of Spittal, noted: “At a time when cooperation and the common good must be at the forefront, I hope that the rumors that Lerch’s party proximity plays a role in his decisions,” said the club boss. , Lerch wishes all the best at the same time.
The FPÖ, on the other hand, calls for more transparency in the ordering process: “We call on the governor of the state to make everything transparent in advance,” said FP boss Erwin Angerer. “We also hear that Lerch was not the first to emerge in the objectification process. Administrative director Sonja Berger of BH was given good opportunities. Is another woman being discriminated against here?” asks the FPÖ.
