Renaturation as a word of 2024: A political signal for Austria!

Graz, Österreich - The Society for Austrian German recently announced the words of 2024, and surprises failed to materialize. With an overwhelming 24 percent of the votes, “Renaturation” was named the word of the year. This specialist word describes the process of transferring areas and waters back into a near -natural state. The selection affects the current political landscape in particular, since Environment Minister Leonore Gewessler (Greens) was significantly involved in enforcing the Renaturation Act at EU level. However, this also brought criminal consequences when the ÖVP filed a complaint that was later hired by the Economic and Corruption Prosecutor's Office (WKSTA), such as Meinbezirk reported.

Chancellor and the youth words

The "Form of the Year" was chosen in a drastic way: Herbert Kickls (FPÖ) Self -name "People's Chancellor" met with violent criticism and was declared inglorious winner with 34 percent. The jury pointed out that this term is historically contaminated and is an allusion to the Nazi terminology that is too often forgotten. The other entries in the last places include the aggressive word "Talahon" and "Remigration", both of which have a negative connotation. Interestingly, the youth word "Heast", a typical Viennese expression, received the race for the youth word of the year. It was chosen because it has achieved a new meaning in the youth language and functions as a universal filler word, similar to "Oida", so .

In addition, the saying and uncertainty of the year were also chosen. "Lugner is Immörtal" honors the late building contractor Richard Lugner, while Kickl's statement "Your will" is met with massive social discussions, since it was used as a religious allusion to the election campaign and is strongly criticized. The current choice clearly shows the differences and tensions in Austrian society, which is reflected in the great differences in the elections of the words.
