More recently, it emerged that an SPÖ district official had held an election event in front of the Turkish community. People close to the AKP were also present. Is the SPÖ sometimes too careless about who it engages with?

You can’t always control who is in the audience. But there is no organized collaboration with problem groups. However, if the federal government recognizes the problem groups, action must be taken against them.

The ÖVP accuses him that Vienna is falling more and more economically. Why is that?

The leading vice-presidential candidate, Gernot Blümel, had to search for a long time before finding a statistic in which Vienna did not rank first. He only found one on the lowest household income. But that’s easy to explain: Vienna is a young federal state, the many children in the household reduce the average income according to statistics. There are also many young people who start their careers earning less. I ask myself the question: is Blümel the anti-Vienna minister? It would be tasked with supporting Vienna as an economic engine. Without us, you couldn’t even have a budget. Presenting ourselves as a brake is detrimental to the location of the business. If the government can’t do PR for us, at least I don’t expect negative PR. We do everything ourselves anyway.

According to the ÖVP report, it is legally possible to require knowledge of German when awarding municipal buildings. That would fit in well with your Vienna Bonus concept.

Social housing is not configured mainly for integration reasons, but to allow the direct supply of housing. Furthermore, it is overlooked that since 2011 everyone who emigrates must have a B1 level of German anyway. Only those who have the right to asylum are excluded.
