In the Carinthian municipality of Bad Eisenkappel, the dismissal of the reimbursement for the mayors is required in an application. While the red vice -chief sees this as a sign of solidarity in financially difficult times, the second vice finds an attack on democracy.
The SP party in the previous city council has requested the removal of the Division of Lectures and must be discussed and implemented in July. In particular, this means: without presentations, the two vice -Mayers will no longer receive money!
Currently, the first mayor Manuela Lobnik (SP) and the second mayor Franz Josef SMRTNIK (EL) each receive 1,000 euros as a fee. That means 12,000 euros per head of the population per year. According to the law of the general municipal regulations, municipalities are possible to request a cancellation of the lectures division and thus to cancel the reimbursement.
Save where possible – opinions differ
“We have to save where it works.” In addition, both virtues also receive salaries as a member of the State Parliament. “SMRTNIK, who is in the parliament of the State for the Carinthia team, has not met his duties for four years. There is no request at the table,” may Mayor Elisabeth Lobnik criticize.
In any case, her vice -chief and niece Manuela Lobnik, also a member of the land tag, has nothing against the cut and sees the austerity measure as a solidarity act.
However, SMRTNIK stimulates the application: “We will certainly not advocate this. I have not saved a cent so far of the money. This flows into hardships within the municipality or benefits. Since the last choice, all the skills have been withdrawn. I have not been withdrawn. How should I work?”
