Strache now has to prove that he is a real Viennese

Of course, this is not entirely clear. The press is now reporting on a house search in Strache’s apartment in Vienna’s Landstrasse last summer. The officials only found his mother there. And, according to the file note, she said: “I declare that my son does not live here and has no personal belongings here.” At the time, she even stated that Strache had not lived at this address for 19 years.

However, it is unlikely that Strache’s candidacy, of all things, would frustrate his mother, albeit unwittingly. The decisive factor for the active and passive right to vote in the Vienna election is whether the person had their center of life in Vienna by the deadline of July 14, 2020 at the latest, explains Christine Bachofner, head of the Vienna election authority, the KURIER.

Evidence asked

Regardless of this, Strache will now be confronted with the factual description brought in by the small party Change. He had to provide evidence that his center of life had actually been in Vienna on the cut-off date. A decision by the authority on Strache’s candidacy would then be available by the end of August at the latest.
