According to a broadcast by FP Steiermark, they will not accept their mandates in the coming municipal council period. In addition, they had promised “full cooperation in the investigation,” it said. Based on the media coverage, Eustacchio and Sippel now commented: “We are resigning our party-internal functions within the FP with immediate effect.” With this step you want to “avert damage to the free community of beliefs”.
“Complete clarification in the first place”
FP state party chairman Mario Kunasek was informed on Sunday about the decisions of the two local politicians. “For the state party, the complete clarification of all the allegations in the room is the top priority.” Therefore the withdrawal is to be welcomed. Until the next meeting of the Graz city party leadership, which is to take place on November 8, 2021, according to the statute of FP-Styria, the senior representative of the FP-Graz, Astrid Schleicher, will take over the leadership of the Graz city party.
