Judith Pühringer: Vienna needs courage for a future -oriented life!

In a crucial turn for the Viennese Greens, Judith Pühringer was elected as a top candidate for the Viennese elections at the 90th state assembly with impressive 87.18 percent. Her passionate speech at Messe Vienna made it clear that she wants to fight for a braver Vienna that stands for democracy and women's rights. "Vienna is rarely brave, we need the Greens for that," emphasized Pühringer. Among those present were federal party leader Werner Kogler as well as the ministers Leonore Gewessler and Alma Zadić, who expressed their support for the new top candidate, such as OE24.at reported.

from activism to politics

Another highlight in the green scene is 23-year-old Lena Schilling, who will be the Greens' Federal Congress on February 24, to become a top candidate for the EU elections. Schilling, known as a climate activist and co -founder of the Vienna Youth Council, plans to work for a socially just and feminist Europe. "Rescue of the planet is the greatest task of our time," she clarified. She not only raises her voice for climate protection, but also against the growing pressure in Europe and criticizes the planned tunnels of the Lobau National Park, which in her opinion represent an outdated policy, as meindezirk.at holds.

Schilling, who sees herself as a non -party activist, wants to influence in Brussels where crucial political laws are created. "I am not the type that people do something about the media. I stand for content," says her clear announcement. Their commitment is seen by Pühringer and others in the party as a "hopeful sign" in the current political landscape.
