Green protest: FPÖ-ÖVP plans endanger the climate and the environment!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - alarm mood at Greenpeace! In the middle of the brisant negotiations between the FPÖ and the ÖVP, the negotiation protocols became known, which could have devastating consequences for Austria's environmental policy. According to Jasmin Duregger, spokeswoman for Greenpeace Austria, the new government plans are a massive debacle for climate and nature conservation. Instead of investing in future -oriented measures, there is a risk of dismantling existing environmental standards. Environmental approval processes are to be watered down, while climate -damaging subsidies continue to flow unchecked. The chances of achieving the climate goals are on the brink, reports greenpeace.at .

The criticism is also directed against the planned tightening in assembly law, which could undermine civil commitment. Duregger emphasizes that people who are committed to protecting the environment should not be afraid to be punished. According to Greenpeace, the measures currently shown are not only a danger to climate protection, but also for the livelihoods of many people in Austria. The political action of FPÖ and ÖVP could therefore have catastrophic effects on the environment and society.
