“What future do we want to see?”
The main question for Van der Bellen is: “What future do we want to see?” Now is the time “in which we have to look further”, “without hesitation, to think completely new, without fear of thinking too big,” said the federal president. “We are capable of unheard of achievements when it comes down to it. The past year has shown it.”
Some of the habits of the past are quite troublesome and you have to decide if you really want to return to them or if you want to build a new and better world than the old one. “How about, for example, if we get into the habit of seeing a flourishing economy and a flourishing nature not as opposites, but as goals that are mutually dependent?” Suggested Van der Bellen. There are many new, sustainable and climate-oriented technologies that could become the engine of a new boom.
“What if we softened the glaring contrast between well protected and on the run or between rich and poor?” Van der Bellen also said.
The federal president also emphasized that society will be strengthened through mutual respect. “How about we break the trend toward ruthlessness and aggression, the trend to retreat into our own virtual bubble and fight bitterly against other opinions?” Van der Bellen also appealed to the population to appreciate “our beautiful Austria and liberal democracy”, but also the European Union more.
