Only Auinger's company car is out of the question, Kreibich has to worry.

The Salzburg City Senate met for the first time in its new composition on Tuesday. First item on the agenda: "Provision of company cars to the members of the City Council". At the very first meeting, the members of the government decided how they would like to travel over the next five years.

As in the past, Mayor Bernhard Auinger (SPÖ) will have an official car for the head of the city. His first deputy Kay-Michael Dankl (KPÖ Plus) will do without a motorized vehicle. "I will continue to ride my bike in the future," says Dankl. Second Deputy Mayor Florian Kreibich (ÖVP) takes a different view.

He has applied for a company car. According to the city government's work program, the other members of government can also access these cars. However, the KPÖ Plus and the Citizens' List want to turn the second vehicle into a shared city government vehicle that can also be used by employees of the municipal directorate. Due to legal questions as to which department the car should be allocated to, no decision has yet been made in the City Senate. A decision is to be made at the next meeting at the beginning of June.
