There is still no reaction to the sexism scandal from the SPÖ National Council and Mayor Kollross

St. Pölten (OTS) – “After the holidays and the start of the new calendar year, it is high time for Counter-Eith-Everything State Councilor Sven Hergovich to finally wake up and issue a clear statement on the shocking sexism scandal of the SPÖ National Council member and mayor of Trumau , Andreas Kollross. It is incomprehensible and irresponsible that Hergovich remains silent about this matter surrounding the disgusting rape jokes of his MP and mayor. Statements like those made by Kollross are not only unacceptable, but they also trivialize and trivialize the very serious issues of sexual violence and abuse. We firmly believe that a simple apology is not enough to understand the significance of this misstep and draw the necessary consequences from it. There is no question that such statements disqualify a person from political office. Kollross is not only a parliamentarian and mayor, but as GVV federal chairman he is also the highest SPÖ municipal representative in Austria, SPÖ district party chairman in the home district of the SPÖ federal chairman Babler and chairman of the Children’s Friends of Lower Austria. It is our shared responsibility as political actors to uphold and defend the values of respect, integrity and equality. We therefore once again urge Sven Hergovich to take decisive action on this matter and ensure that such incidents do not occur again in the future. We expect an immediate and clear reaction,” said women’s representative LABg. Silke Dammerer and VPNÖ state manager BR Matthias Zauner in unison.
