Political crisis in Austria: Government talks are on the brink!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - The negotiations between the ÖVP, SPÖ and Neos have failed, and that brings serious consequences for Austria's future. Caritas President Nora Tödtling-Musenbichler warns: "The challenges ahead of us are too great to continue to push them to the long bank." In view of the urgent issues, from economic instability to social disadvantages to the climate crisis, Caritas demands that the talks for a new government have to be resumed as soon as possible. She emphasizes that the citizens expect concrete solutions, and reminds that reforms are not only necessary for the current generation, but also for the future, as sustainability economy there are global problems such as climatic changes and social inequalities in our everyday life. Climate change is not just a remote diagnosis, but also affects the quality of life and security of millions. It is all the more important that political decision -makers take care of these topics and promote sustainable solutions. Both Caritas and experts agree that close cooperation is necessary in order to cope with not only national but also international challenges. Only with a common action can solutions be found that are globally networked and are in the best interest of all citizens.

Nora Tödtling-Musenbichler outlines the challenge of countering the climate crisis with social aspects and evokes the appeal to political ability to act. Without immediate reforms, not only economic regulations, but also a failure to make the beneficial concerns of society seriously. In this critical phase, it is indispensable that responsible politics assumes responsibility and that the talks across the next government will not be delayed.
