“Whether in education, affordable housing, securing the public health system or fighting for every job, SPÖ has the best ideas and concepts for Vienna.”
Vienna (OTS / SPW) – “Today’s ORF press hour has made it clear again: only with Mayor Dr. Michael Ludwig, our Vienna is in the best of hands. Be it education, affordable housing, securing our public health system or the fight for every job, the SPÖ is the political force in our city that ensures that Vienna is even more affordable, livable and more social, ”emphasized SPÖ Vienna- State party secretary Barbara Novak today, Sunday, after“ hour of press ”of the ORF with Gernot Blümel (ÖVP) and Birgit Hebein (Los Verdes). ****
Novak reminded us that Vienna has been named the most livable city in the world ten times in a row and has received countless awards, from the “smartest city” to the city with the most green spaces in Europe. “If it had been for the ÖVP, none of this would have been possible. Because the ÖVP was against much of what makes our city so livable: the Danube island, for example, would never have been built, the metro would never have been expanded, and our community buildings had long been privatized. ” remembers Novak. The SPÖ’s Vienna State Party Secretary expressed his misunderstanding over the fact that in the midst of a pandemic that triggered the biggest health and economic crisis of our time and left countless people unemployed, apparently nothing better to do than hack and hack its own federal capital. to seek constant discussion: “In times like these, cooperation and solidarity are the order of the day. Blümel should take an example from Mayor Dr. Michael Ludwig, who always seeks union across party lines. “Novak also voiced his criticism of the removal of a critical comment by author Robert Menasse on Blümel’s Facebook page:” Instead of facing criticism and having a constructive discussion, a well-known author who expresses criticism, silenced and with a more than flimsy reason. This is unacceptable!”
Novak sees the fact that Deputy Mayor Hebein praised Vienna’s health system as further confirmation of the successful social democratic course: “We have always been committed to safeguarding our public health system and we continue to expand it. I am delighted that the deputy mayor also considers this path to be the correct one ”. The SPÖ Vienna State Party Secretary is firmly committed to guest registration in the restaurant sector. “The registry facilitates contact tracing, which is so important in containing the pandemic. Gastroenterology experts at the Chamber of Commerce see it the same way. We will definitely follow this path, because the safety of the population is a particular concern for us, ”Novak said.
The party’s state secretary emphasized that only Mayor Dr. Michael Ludwig has the best ideas and concepts for Vienna. That became clear once again in the Corona crisis. “The fact that Vienna has weathered the crisis so well is the result of decades of social democratic policy. Unlike other cities, we have never privatized our public services. That is why we now have a powerful, crisis-proof healthcare system that we are expanding even further, ”says Novak. The SPÖ also puts the accent on the labor market: “With the 50+ labor offensive, the older unemployed get opportunities in professional life again and with the learning offensive we create prospects for the young.”
In order to offer all children the best education regardless of their parents’ income, SPÖ Vienna implemented free school throughout the day. In addition to the current 70 locations, ten more are added each year. And when it comes to living, Vienna is an international role model. “More than 60 percent of Viennese live in municipal housing or subsidized apartments. We are expanding the offer, 4,000 new municipal departments and 24,000 subsidized apartments are currently under construction or in the planning stage ”, concluded Novak. (Conclusion) go
