Graz in focus: Vice Mayor Schwentner demands strong Greens
In Graz, Vice Mayor Judith Schwentner, member of the Greens, has set a strong sign of the political position of her party. During a press conference, she emphasized the need to strengthen the Greens in the state parliament in order to continue the positive development of the city. "Graz wins with green. We set the course for the future, and most of the Graz are proud of this city," said Schwentner.
The focus of their statements was a socially and ecologically sustainable urban development. This is intended to increase the quality of life of the citizens. Schwentner mentioned numerous initiatives, such as the expansion of 20 kilometers of new walking and bike paths as well as investments in public transport. The tram connections to Mariatrost and Puntigam were particularly emphasized. In addition, over 2400 trees have been planted in the past three years, and there is a fixed minimum proportion of green spaces for new construction projects. Schmidt emphasized that new parks and encounter zones are planned to continue to make Graz attractive.
criticism of other parties
The ÖVP, on the other hand, sees the situation differently and criticizes the city government. With a concept for the revitalization of traffic and business, she would like to bring Graz back to the fast lane. In the future, residents should receive a car parking space per household in order to strengthen the city center.
The current developments in the city of Graz and the efforts to be sustainable urbanization are evaluated differently by various political actors. While the Greens and the state government emphasize progress through ecological initiatives, the opposition partly goes to court with the approaches to the city government. These discussions are decisive for future development not only Graz ', but also of the entire country, especially with regard to the upcoming elections.
