challenges and goals

She made it clear that the Greens live in a world full of contradictions and that they want to create an environment in which people come to their party with hope and not with fear.Guessler also criticized the political landscape and commented negatively about some of their political competitors. So she described SPÖ boss Andreas Babler as climate and social policy "sham giants" and warned about the independence of Russian gas. The attitude of the FPÖ on climate protection and social issues also met with sharp criticism. "The FPÖ is driven by Russian propaganda and is only about problem management," says Gewessler.
The new federal spokeswoman also announced the "Green Keep" campaign in order to strengthen green points of view and to draw attention to the need for a climate -friendly budget. "The government's budget has a negative impact on the climate," she added, putting the urgency of an alternative policy in the foreground.
The next steps of the Greens
The Federal Congress also includes the election of a new federal board, with five other members and a financial officer being elected. In the coming years, the Greens want to actively pursue the political goals that are anchored in the fundamental program . This program forms an important guide for the party and attaches importance to sustainability and flexibility to adapt to changing framework conditions.
In summary, the beginning of Gewessler's term of office is a symbol for the new beginning of the Greens in Austrian politics.
