Vienna sets standards: strong public services for the future!
In a remarkable meeting of the Vienna City Council on December 17, 2024, SPÖ club chairman Josef Taucher emphasized the crucial importance of public services for the city of Vienna. "We in Vienna don't have to shy away from comparison. A look beyond the country's borders shows the excellent level of our water supply, our waste disposal, the sewage system and much more," says Taucher. He called for targeted investments in this infrastructure to guarantee the city's high quality of life. “We invest every day in the future of this city and thus in a Vienna worth living in, sustainable and suitable for our grandchildren,” he explained. This public service includes not only water and waste management, but also health and social services as well as local public transport, which is crucial for the everyday life of citizens wien.gv.at highlights.
Investments and challenges
Taucher provided convincing arguments for the city administration's active approach. Vienna has established itself as an international pioneer in public services, which, according to him, is no coincidence, but the result of strategic decisions and investments. He emphasized that the city has a sophisticated flood protection concept that effectively protects the people of Vienna during extreme weather events. "We make sure that people have a good and safe life. For us, every person counts!", emphasized Taucher emphatically.
In his speech, he sharply criticized the positions of the FPÖ and ÖVP, which, in his opinion, do not take the necessary responsibility for public services. “The ‘invisible hand’ that you keep raving about is not building hospitals, water pipes or sewer systems,” said Taucher. These statements illustrate the SPÖ's determined commitment to solid public services in Vienna, while the city continues to work on optimizing and modernizing its services. OTS reports that the Vienna administration is working resolutely to secure and expand the high quality of life.
