Gewessler demands politics for people: Is Innsbruck ready for change?

Innsbruck, Österreich - In a current interview with Meinverbäg , Leonore Gewessler, former climate protection minister and deputy party spokeswoman for the Greens, has her critical view of the federal government and expressed your own party. The occasion was the State Assembly of the Tyrolean Greens in Innsbruck, where she announced her candidacy as a federal spokeswoman. Gewessler appeals to the Green Party to see more contact with people again.

The election to the new party leadership will take place on June 29th at the Federal Congress in Vienna. Gewessler said that the Greens have been in the opposition since the last National Council election and admitted that there were common mistakes. In their eyes, it is now more important than ever to show empathy in politics and to regain the trust of the citizens.

politics with responsibility

GEUSSLER not only criticizes the current austerity measures of the government, especially in the environmental and social area, but also emphasizes that these decisions are dishonest, especially the cuts in climate protection. She wants the Greens to become a stronger organization that inspires more people and stand up for their needs. Her vision provides that future generations can look at an intact planet and she establishes a connection between the current global challenges, such as the Ukraine war or the rise of right-wing extremism, and the actions of politics.

"There is something", she calls out to talk loudly about the concerns of the population and to actively participate in the political design. Gewessler wants the people in Innsbruck to actively contribute to urban politics and improve the city together. It pleads for a holistic political participation, which not only aims at the quick implementation of measures, but also ensures democratic processes, which is also reflected in the considerations of a stronger involvement of citizens in political decisions.

collaboration for a better future

In your framework, Gewessler also wants to advance the expansion of renewable energies. The connection between energy, climate policy and security policy was particularly illustrated by the attack by Russia to Ukraine in 2022. However, the pressure on the fast transformation could endanger democratic processes - this is a dilemma that is also discussed by the Federal Center for Political Education in a current report. The necessary citizen participation must not fall under the table so as not to ignore local issues.

The Greens, according to Gewessler, are supposed to act as a partner alongside people, strengthen their voice and stand up for a policy that facilitates the lives of citizens instead of burdening it. She wanted to create a change that makes space for everyone votes and thus improves the quality of democracy. "We have to find new answers to the challenges of the time," she emphasizes in her call for participation.

In order to promote this social transformation, political efforts must be made in order to promote high -quality citizen participation. A community action that includes all social voices is essential to regain the trust of people and to secure a future worth living. Bewesler feels that people fight for a better world and that every voice counts. In doing so, it establishes a connection to the current challenges and takes up the pulse of the times.

summarized, the world does not get better on its own - this is also evident from the fact that the commitment of the Greens and the introduction of citizens are essential in order to correct the political course and to shape a sustainable future.
