Absurd figures appear on the internet claiming that the "scandalous dance" in Bad Ischl cost eleven million euros. This was followed by insults and threatening phone calls to Mayor Ines Schiller. The head of the town defends herself and tells the "Krone" what she and her family had to go through.

"I had already expected there to be discussions beforehand, but that the powder dance would cause such a stir!" - Mayor Ines Schiller is stunned: "I can't understand why people are confusing pornography with sexuality here. My son's classmates at school say to him: 'Your mom is stupid for letting people dance naked on stage. And my secretary didn't deserve that either," the head of Bad Ischl shakes her head.
