SPÖ boss Michael Ludwig and Greens leader Birgit Hebein answered questions in two major television interviews. Questions were also posed by members of the KURIER Readers Council. Michael Ludwig’s interview is available here.

DELIVERY COURIER: The most prominent issue in recent days is the burning refugee camp in Moria. Little is known about the Greens at the federal level on the question of whether to host 100 children in Vienna. Does that disappoint you?

Birgit Hebein: If you listen correctly, you can hear a lot. At both the federal and Vienna levels, it is clear to the Greens that we view acceptance as a requirement of humanity. The city government has decided that we want to host 100 children.

His emerging projects in traffic are often criticized. Does it make sense, at a time when individual traffic has become more important due to Corona, to create traffic jams and anger for the coalition partner in the city?

Now we have a corona crisis and a climate crisis. The Greens are the ones who say very clearly: We will not overcome one crisis if we ignore the other. Otherwise, we will pave the way to climate collapse. We have agreed with the SPÖ to cool the city and control the climate crisis. This also includes reducing about 50 percent of our emissions by 2030. That means: implement. That means: go ahead. And that also means: act.
