Innsbruck's municipal council received a sharp email. It threatened legal action if a planned building freeze was approved. Deputy Mayor Elisabeth Mayr (SPÖ) had a clear answer.

Deputy Mayor Mayr dances almost lasciviously and with a cheeky grin on Instagram. The reason? The Innsbruck municipal councillors were threatened with a lawsuit, as the KPÖ made public.

A press release stated: "140 apartments are to be built on the field between Südring and Gerhard-Hauptmann-Straße in the Amras district. On Thursday, the municipal council will vote on a building freeze to renegotiate the added public value of the large-scale project. The investors UBM and Pema therefore sent an email to all local councillors on Tuesday, including a threat of legal action if the councillors vote in favor of the construction freeze."

"Time to put a stop to concrete gold diggers"
The argument: the building freeze is unconstitutional. It is a disproportionate encroachment on the fundamental right to property. KO Pia Tomedi (KPÖ) sharply criticizes: "They are acting as if they own the city. It is high time we put a stop to these concrete gold diggers." The vote on the building ban took place in camera - for legal reasons, as it was said: "Against the background of the threat of criminal consequences for local councillors and the announcement of the assertion of claims for damages against the city, both with the aim of refraining from issuing a building ban ordinance."

They act as if they own the city. It's high time we put a stop to these concrete gold diggers.

"When the real estate lobby threatens you with legal action because you implement bold election promises on housing," is written under Mayr's dance, in which she laughingly holds the threat of legal action up to the camera. The dance and the laughter speak volumes. You could have imagined beforehand that the building freeze had been decided.
