How long will “rats & destroyers” paralyze Klagenfurt?

Embarrassing chats, foul-mouthed insults and a standstill on major projects characterize Klagenfurt's daily politics: SP Deputy Mayor Philipp Liesnig is always at the forefront. In an interview with "Krone", he explains why he can no longer continue working like this and why his temperament will land him in the dock.

"Krone": Mr. Deputy Mayor, whether it's the data scandal or "rat chats" - you're always in the middle of it.
Philipp Liesnig: As finance officer, I'm in the spotlight and my critical nature doesn't suit many people. I haven't just made friends.
