Georg Papai in dialogue: What Floridsdorfer think about her concerns

Von WOM

In the Floridsdorf electoral district 114, a deep distrust of the established parties is reflected. District head Georg Papai (SPÖ) invited to his Grätzl consultation hours on Tuesday, but the response was disappointing: only four of the residents invited took part. This raises questions about the causes of low interest and dissatisfaction among the population.

Although the district was once a stronghold of the SPÖ, the current turnout shows a terrifying departure from traditional values. In the latest National Council elections , the fpö received the majority of votes, a sign of change in the political climate. Where the Social Democratic Party once had an ear for the tenants of the municipal buildings, its influence has now fallen greatly.

change of the residents

The population in the constituency experienced significant change. When the author of this article moved here in 1986, many seniors and students lived in these community buildings . In the meantime, many of the tenants at that time have changed, and new residents with different backgrounds have taken their place. Criticism of the "add -on" is not uncommon, but the fact remains that the residents do not differ significantly in terms of house rules. The question arises whether these changes have contributed to political rethinking.

An older tenant emphasized at Papais that there was no problem for him, which is astonishing in view of the frequent complaints he expresses in the courtyard. However, many of these tenants, who rely on a regular life, often fight with loneliness and the silence of the neighbors. Georg Papai and his team, consisting of employees of Wiener Wohnen and Grätzlpolizists , are concerned about the mood in the place and the associated challenges.

In the reflection of this situation, it becomes clear that communication between the parties and the citizens could be improved. A young SPÖ mandate this afternoon admitted his perplexity that there was no longer tenants to express their worries. "We have to go into the large group of non -voters ," he emphasized. These politicians are aware that the connection to the electorate has been lost and that they have to actively work on building a new basis for trust.

The constant change of residents and their different needs could be a reason for political alienation. Many of the tenants may not even be aware of what rents in other European cities look like. ZDF and el País have already reported on the quality of life in these municipal residential complexes and raised the question of how people really live here. Your reporting could throw a light on the problems that many residents are difficult to do in everyday life.

The situation in Vienna Floridsdorf remains tense and offers space for discussions and improvements. It remains to be seen whether the district manager's visit can mobilize more citizens in the future. One thing is certain: it will not be easy to restore the previous connections to the base. At the moment there is a strong need to look for dialogue to regain trust in political representation.
