Funding for the Jewish City Museum of Vienna GmbH
Vienna (OTS / RK) – GRin Mag. Laura Sachslehner, BA (ÖVP) referred yesterday to the “International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Holocaust.” In fact, one should be able to assume “that anti-Semitic ideas are history.” Events in Vienna such as an attack on a rabbi or anti-Semitic slogans at demonstrations by “Crown deniers” would “reveal a problem.” Such ideas must be fought tirelessly. Remembrance and remembrance must also be taught in schools. A related project of the Jewish Museum should continue to be supported. Along with the Greens, Sachslehner tabled a motion to support the federal government’s anti-Semitist strategy.
GR Nikolaus Kunrath (Greens) cited the federal government’s anti-Semitist strategy and called on all city councilors to “take the newspaper’s individual points seriously” and compare them to their own actions. Reports from the anti-Semitism office alone would confirm just how widespread right-wing ideas are. To counter this, facilities like the Jewish Museum are needed. Of the 3.9 million euros of support, the museum will have to return 700,000 euros of rent to the city of Vienna. Personnel expenses would amount to 2.8 million, not much left.
GR Jörg Neumayer, MA (SPÖ) underscored the importance of application. Austria “took 50 years to admit that it was partially responsible for the Holocaust.” In Vienna, the culture of remembrance under the SPÖ had already started in the 1980s with the establishment of the “Jewish Welcome Service”. The main point is to continue fighting against any form of discrimination, including other religious groups, “which come to the fore in some electoral campaigns.”
Zoning in Kagran in the 22nd district
GRin Dipl.-Ing. Elisabeth Olischar, BSc (ÖVP) criticized the status of archives in zoning plans at city council committee meetings. If the information situation were originally “complete and sufficient”, it would now become increasingly thin. These documents are an “important decision-making tool” for committee members, and it is the business groups’ job to provide accurate and complete information on each postal item. Olischar submitted a regular and comprehensive information request for city councilors to the housing committee.
GRin Mag. Heidemariesequence (Greens) could not understand the criticisms of the previous ÖVP speaker. Sequence itself is “always in good contact with its district” and receives sufficient information. The sequence went on to say that in no other district would it be “rededicated and rebuilt” as much as in the city on the Danube. Only the expansion of public transport is not only lagging behind, public transport is even declining. The trams would be “completely lost”. In the government program of the SPÖ and NEOS, for example, an extension of the intervals for public transport is not mentioned. This action by the city government is “a disgrace”.
GR Kilian Stark (Greens) pointed to the fact that “many people would live” in the area in question with the Rennbahnsiedlung or the Trabrennlinien-Hof, which would now have to “suffer from poor public transport”. The offers were canceled and the intervals were extended. Stark made a motion to withdraw the interval dilutions in the planning area discussed.
GR Erich Valentin (SPÖ) commented on criticism from the archives that there is normally an intra-party flow of information between districts and municipal councilors, which “apparently does not work” in the case of GRin Elisabeth Olischar (ÖVP). Valentin could not understand the criticism of public transport. The Greens have co-ruled Vienna for the past ten years; there have also been improvements in the intervals. One is “ready at any time” to improve supply based on existing demand. In today’s situation, with many people in the home office, you don’t want to “throw money out the window.”
GR Kilian Stark (Greens) responded to GR Erich Valentin (SPÖ) that the Red-Green party program was “a compromise”. But there, too, the motto of public transportation was “expansion, expansion, expansion.” Now there are cuts, and the Greens would “rightly” criticize that.
Approval of the loan of material for the construction project in Franz-Josefs-Kai (Augartenbrücke – Dominikanerbastei)
GRin Mag. Heidemariesequence (Greens) said in the direction of GR Erich Valentin (SPÖ) that the traffic load “may be less in the morning hours”. But: “Public transport is a service of general interest and not a profitable company”, in sequence. Regarding the renovation in the Schwedenplatz area, he said that the project had been endowed with 40 million euros, now only a quarter of this budget would be used Step New roads are being built, lanes are created and others are carried out renovation work Individual measures in the Schwedenplatz area are coordinated with each other.
GR Christian Hursky (SPÖ) pointed out that the email in question was exclusively about the renovation of a tunnel roof. (Cont.) White
