Niederösterreich, Österreich - On April 5, 2025, Toni Grünsteidl was appointed deputy general secretary of the young People's Party (JVP). He is currently acting as the state manager of the JVP Lower Austria. Grünsteidl will switch to the team of JVP federal chairwoman Claudia Plakolm on May 15, 2025, who describes him as a committed junk with a pronounced organizational talent. This appointment is part of the strategic realignment of the JVP, which positions itself as an innovation engine of Austrian domestic policy.

The young people's party has over 100,000 members and is therefore the largest political circle of friends in Austria. Historically, the JVP has advanced significant topics such as voting from the age of 16 and the rejection of nuclear power. In the past legislative period, over 20 claims were successfully implemented by the JVP, which demonstrates its political relevance. Grünsteidl underlines the need to make the JVP quick -witted and well positioned for future challenges.

success of the young People's Party

In the past five years, the JVP has been able to implement a variety of measures for youth in Austria. These include:

• Free HPV vaccination up to 21 years and post-vaccination up to 30 years.
• harder penalties in the event of abuse and gap in the ban on activity.
• Introduction of the Voluntary State Prize.
• Setting up a service center for volunteering.
• deletion of two of the three additional fees on the first home.

Another important step was to lift the blood donation ban for homosexuals and the introduction of the school subject of digital basic education. These initiatives illustrate the commitment of the JVP to promote the quality of life and the rights of the young generation in Austria.

Claudia Plakolm, the first Secretary of State of Youth in Austria, has initiated numerous important initiatives under her leadership that affect both youth and society as a whole. This includes, among other things, the increase in Federal Youth Promotion and the introduction of the care theory. Plakolm's constant commitment has contributed significantly to the positive development of the JVP.

historical development and future perspectives

The JVP was founded in 1945 as a "Austrian youth movement" and has since developed into an equal partial organization of the ÖVP. This organization has changed significantly over the years and has been adapted to the political conditions, whereby it has always taken pro -European positions. The appointment of Toni Grünsteidl as deputy general secretary is another step for the JVP into a promising future.

The JVP has also recognized itself in the past through strong leaders such as Silvia Grünberger and Sebastian Kurz, who have left their mark on Austrian politics. With a solid basis for members and a clear political agenda, the young people's party is ready to tackle the challenges of the future and to continue to represent the interests of young people in Austria. In this context, the upcoming National Council election is of particular importance in 2024, in which Plakolm will take second place on the ÖVP federal list.
