A “Krone” report about a smoke alarm at the Opera Ball, triggered by burning cigarettes in the men’s room, caused an uproar. Now there are increasing rumors that an active federal minister may have been the reason…
Even exactly a week after the state riot, the Vienna Opera Ball is still on everyone’s lips in political circles. Background: On Tuesday evening, the “Krone” reported on a smoke detector in the men’s toilet, which allegedly came from cigarette smoke from high-ranking politicians. The State Opera confirmed the alarm, but did not reveal who might have smoked illegally in the toilet.
“Luckily nothing happened”
‘The company fire brigade was immediately on site and fortunately nothing happened. We immediately advised people not to smoke,” the press service said. The incident is said to have taken place in the men’s toilet near the politicians’ boxes.
This may be why there are currently increasing rumors that one of the two smokers caught was ÖVP Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg. When asked by the “Krone”, his office would neither confirm nor deny this.
