Haslauer: “Look for other solutions.”

But it is a good day for democracy, because around 40 percent participation on a factual issue is relatively high. I would like to thank everyone who participated and everyone who voted.”

Svazek: “The result hurts. “

Deputy State Governor Marlene Svazek: “The last few weeks have shown that supporters and opponents have put in the work. Valuable knowledge, but the result also hurts me personally, even if it is appropriate. I take it that Flachgau especially expects a solution. It is up to Mayor Bernhard Auinger to present Plan B.”

Schnöll: “The result is binding.”

Deputy Governor of the State Stefan Schnöll in the first response to the “no” vote in the referendum on the transfer solution: “We said before that the result is binding, and it is. I would like a different result. What is amazing is that the communities on the local railway were for that. I would like to thank everyone, supporters and opponents. Now we will sit down with the city and look for a solution. “
