On Sunday, SPÖ deputy mayor Bernhard Auinger and Kay-Michael Dankl (KPÖ Plus) will battle it out for the mayor's office in the city. The "Krone" knows the positions of the two.

On Sunday it will be decided whether Bernhard Auinger or Kay-Michael Dankl will be Salzburg's mayor for the next five years. Although it is a red-dark-red duel, many are talking about a decision of direction. The "Krone" took a look at the most important substantive positions of the SPÖ candidate and the KPÖ Plus candidate and came to the conclusion: there is not that much difference between the 50-year-old deputy mayor and the 35-year-old local councillor, especially when it comes to the major issues of housing and transport.
