Solidarity with climate protectors pushes the People’s Party sour.
In a letter to the Federal Chancellor, Bregenz is the first municipality in Austria to show solidarity with the “Last Generation” campaign. “I don’t make such a decision for political reasons, but out of the deep conviction that more effective measures are urgently needed to combat the climate crisis,” says city manager Michael Ritsch (SP) and calls on community leaders to follow his example. The Bregenz People’s Party is not very happy about the solidarity.
The state capital is on the right track when it comes to climate protection, emphasized Michael Rauth as city councilor and club chairman as a guest at Vorarlberg LIVE in an interview with moderator Marc Springer and referred to various measures taken. He understands the youth when they take to the streets to protect the climate. “But if there are illegal blockades by radical groups, then a limit is crossed. If you stop people from going to work or obstruct ambulances without needing it, you are crossing this limit. The end does not justify the means, not even in climate protection. Solidarity is a fatal signal for us.”
The broadcast “Vorarlberg LIVE” is a cooperation between VOL.AT, VN.at, Ländle TV and VOL.AT TV and is broadcast from Monday to Friday from 5 p.m. There’s more here.
