Vienna sets standards: strong general interest for the future!

In a remarkable meeting of the Vienna municipal council on December 17, 2024, SPÖ club chairman Josef Taucher emphasized the decisive importance of general interest for the city of Vienna. "We in Vienna do not have to shy away from a comparison. A look beyond the national borders shows the excellent level of our water supply, our waste disposal, sewage system and much more," said Taucher. He demanded that targeted investments in this infrastructure were necessary to guarantee the high quality of life of the city. "We are investing in the future of this city every day and thus in a livable, sustainable and grandchild -friendly Vienna," he explained. This provision of services not only includes water and waste management, but also health and social services as well as local public transport, which is crucial for the everyday life of the citizens, as wien.gv.at

investments and challenges

divers provided convincing arguments for the active approach of the city administration. Vienna has established itself as an international pioneer in general public services, which, according to him, is not a coincidence, but the result of strategic decisions and investments. He emphasized that the city has a sophisticated flood protection concept that effectively protects the Viennese in extreme weather events. "We look at the fact that people have a good and safe life. Everyone counts for us!" Emphasized Taucher with emphasis.

In his speech, he sharply criticized the positions of FPÖ and ÖVP, which in his view did not take on the necessary responsibility for public care. "The 'invisible hand', of which they rave again and again, do not build hospitals, no water pipes and no channel system," said Taucher. These statements illustrate the determined use of the SPÖ for a solid general interest in Vienna, while the city continues to work on the optimization and modernization of its services.
