17,000 instead of 25,000 euros: still no agreement in the ATM dispute

There is no further agreement in the debate about the receipt of the ATM in Freindorf. As reported, the ATM in the Freindorf district of Ansfelden is about to be dismantled in September because the operating company Payment Services Austria GmbH (PSA for short) has terminated the contract. The PSA now wants the city to bear the costs for continued operation (previously the service was free for the municipality).

The original offer of EUR 25,000 per year enraged Mayor Christian Partoll (FP), and the PSA announced that it would make improvements. The new offer is now in the amount of 17,000 euros, for Partoll it is “no less outrageous than the old one”. The city cannot bear the costs, Partoll believes that the banks are responsible for making a corresponding offer. “The ATM in Freindorf must be retained! I would like to once again appeal to close ranks with federal politicians and banks and I am always available for discussions,” he says.
