AustriaThe Austrian newspaper Kleine Zeitung reported on a memorial session held by the Styrian state parliament to honor Franz Hasiba, a former president of the state parliament and former mayor of Graz (from the ÖVP party), who passed away at the age of 94. The tribute took place in the Landstube, where Hasiba began his career as a member of parliament in 1970. Attendees included current and former politicians, including Landtagspräsident Gerald Deutschmann, Vizelandeshauptmann Manuela Khom, and Landeshauptmann Mario Kunasek. Hasiba was remembered as a bridge-builder with strong democratic values who did not shy away from conflict and focused on results rather than showmanship. He was noted for promoting citizen participation and fostering development in the region.
Bias read (Center): The article provides a balanced overview of Franz Hasiba’s political contributions and legacy, quoting multiple officials and emphasizing his role as a unifying figure in Styrian politics.
