SPÖ politician Klaus Luger (63, SPÖ) was mayor of the provincial capital Linz for almost eleven years before he stumbled across an affair. What will he do now? Will he remain a member of the party? And does he believe that Andreas Babler can become chancellor? In what is probably his last major "Krone" interview, he comments on this in detail. 

Calm and very relieved: this is how Klaus Luger looked yesterday after his resignation as Mayor of Linz. The "Krone" met him for an in-depth interview a few hours after his last public appearance on Friday afternoon.
