He has survived many scandals, but the hunt with René Benko was the highlight. After his resignation, Tyrolean SP boss and deputy governor Georg Dornauer talks to Conny Bischofberger about the fateful September 28, a lonely decision, the support of the people and his professional future.
Friday afternoon on the historic Tyrolean Bergisel: Georg Dornauer waits for us where the battles against Napoleon raged 215 years ago. The full moon is already starting to shine above the restaurant “1809” opposite the Kaiserjäger Museum and the statue of Andreas Hofer. Here Innsbruck is at your feet. “For me, this is Tyrol,” says Dornauer, explaining our choice of meeting point. Deep sigh. He seems composed and serious, but not depressed. And he’s willing to talk.
It has only been 48 hours since he stepped aside as SPÖ state party leader and deputy governor of the state, as he himself put it. The reason was a hunting photo that the “Krone” published at the beginning of this week. It shows him with bankrupt billionaire René Benko and a killed deer.
