It could be close for the red mayor Andrea Heinrich in Liezen in March. The ÖVP is playing catch-up with Egon Gojer and wants to reject major projects such as the renovation of the market square. A visit to the town hall and a car dealership on the B320.

Liezen made a real dent in the 2020 municipal elections: The ÖVP almost caught up with the SPÖ, which had been seemingly untouchable for decades. Nevertheless, Roswitha Glashüttner, a Red, became mayor with the support of the FPÖ and the "Liste Liezen". A good two years ago, Andrea Heinrich replaced Glashüttner as the new mayor.
