Wohlgemuth: SPÖ Tirol's new star in residential construction and social issues!

Innsbruck, Österreich - Philip Wohlgemuth will be elected as the new chairman of the SPÖ Tirol next Saturday, June 28th. With this decision, he is the only candidate to be in the starting blocks. The ordinary state party conference takes place in the Innsbruck trade fair, where over 380 delegates, including federal party chairman Andreas Babler, are expected. BABLER will send a 15-minute greeting to the meeting, while Wohlgemuth will hold a detailed application speech. Other prominent guests are Minister of Women Eva-Maria Holzleitner and State Secretary Michaela Schmidt.

Wohlgemuth, who toured the Tyrolean districts in the past few weeks, propagates under the motto "We create future. With you, with us, for Tyrol". He emphasizes the importance of teamwork and the opening of the party for members and experts. In the state government, he is responsible for residential buildings and is described as a reliable supporter by Andreas Babler. With a clear focus on social justice and affordable living, his vision for Tyrol.

important topics and initiatives

Wohlgemuth plans to decide on new thematic initiatives. The focus is particularly on the challenges in the area of living, social affairs and mobility. In a living requirement study, which was recently presented by Georg Dornauer, his predecessor, it is pointed out that an additional 35,000 apartments will be needed by 2033. There are currently around 440,000 apartments in Tyrol, but about 22.6% of which are reported without the main residence, which indicates possible speculation. The study also illustrates that the prices for living space have increased so that it is difficult for many people to finance property.

The SPÖ sets focused on activating vacancy and implementing a building land mobilization output. Wohlgemuth would like to counteract speculation with a comprehensive living package and tighten the vacancy tax to integrate unused properties into the housing market. The "Safe Rent" Initiative supports owners in cooperation with Tigewosi. 135 specific inquiries about activating living space are already available.

future prospects and sporting measures

Wohlgemuth assumes that the state government will continue to mobilize the devoted country by 2027. At the same time, he is also responsible for sports. The sports budget was increased by two million euros to 16 million euros to renew numerous sports facilities from the 1970s and 1980s. The state government has provided 75 million euros in the pool for the promotion of sports enthusiasts and the health care of the population.

Wohlgemuth not only strives for a broad approval during the party congress, but also the strengthening of the SPÖ in Tyrol for the upcoming challenges. His predecessor, Georg Dornauer, will also be present at the party congress and emphasizes that he is striving for constructive cooperation with Wohlgemuth and continues to perceive his state parliament mandate.

The next steps towards party leadership and the implementation of specific living initiatives could be crucial for the future development of the SPÖ in Tyrol. The party congress could also strike programmatic tones, since Wohlgemuth wants to start as a top candidate for the state election in two years.
