That was a clear voice! In the public survey on the garage expansion in Mönchsberg, about 84.38 percent of Salzburg residents said “no” to the major project. That’s 20,948 votes! This puts the project on hold. Participation was surprisingly high at 21.98 percent.
“I’m not brushing that off the table,” said Mayor Harald Preuner (ÖVP). In any case, participating in the vote with 24,668 eligible voters is a strong sign of direct democracy in action.
In any case, it would be futile to speculate about how the remaining 80 percent or so will be voted. The result achieved should be noted – participation is moving towards the Olympic referendum in 2005.
After the presentation of the final result, he intends to instruct the municipal council to draw up an official report to the municipal council containing “an official proposal that corresponds to the result of the vote”.
The mayor wants to vote on the official report on July 6.
