Landtag session: Health, train and childcare in focus!

What's on June 12, 2025 in the Lower Austrian state parliament on the agenda? In the upcoming session, the political groups bring important topics that affect people in Lower Austria. Including health, childcare and rail projects. Particularly noteworthy is the commitment of the Freedom Party (FPÖ), which emphasizes sport as an essential component of health care. Philipp Gerstenmayer makes it clear that movement is essential for physical and mental health. He criticizes the current expenditure for prevention in Austria and refers to projects such as "swimming kids", "not with me" and the planned "Lower Austria Laufolympiad 2025". In addition, the FPÖ demands that a nationwide space for sports and exercise is found in the education system.

Another central point is the rail infrastructure. In this context, Hubert Keyl describes the securing of central rail projects in the ÖBB framework plan 2025-2030 as essential. He indicates project shifts in the Nordbahn, the Airport Spange and the Puchberger Bahn and emphasizes the increased demand for public transport, which should urgently be taken into account. This not only wants to promote mobility, but also improve the quality of life in Lower Austria.

childcare in focus

The topic of childcare is also being discussed intensively. SPÖ club chairman Hannes Weninger brings an initiative for a "European lesson" into play that should enable MEPs to report regularly in the state parliament. In addition, the SPÖ calls for a nationwide, free, all -day childcare and criticizes the financial burden that families currently have to bear. The Lower Austria People's Party also wants to show progress here: it announces the funding for the establishment of the 500th group and is planning investments of 750 million euros in kindergartens and day care.

The promotion of movement is particularly important for health, as the World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes. It sees physical activity as a key factor for improving health. Supporting initiatives such as "good!" And the fund Healthy Austria (FGÖ) underline the connection between movement, health and quality of life in Lower Austria. These health -promoting measures are crucial to improve prevention among the population and to achieve long -term positive effects - both on a physical and mental level.

environment and transparency

Another important topic that shapes political discourse is flood protection. The Greens criticize the federal government for their failure in this area and indicate rejected applications that are urgently needed in times of the climate crisis. Helga Krimmer expresses a clear warning and makes it clear that these topics must not be ignored.

The NEOS, in turn, demand more transparency in the state parliament. Indra Collini would like to give the State Audit Office right and criticizes the ÖVP for its lack of attention from democratic principles. In this context, it is important that all factions take their concerns seriously and develop solutions together.

Overall, it can be seen that the Lower Austrian state parliament plays an active role in political events in order to set the course for the future - both in the areas of health, education and mobility. The upcoming debates offer the opportunity to take decisive topics for the population and convert them into constructive solutions.
