Climate protection in danger: Green demands rethinking from the new government!

In a sharp criticism of the recent decisions of the new government, the green concerns expressed concerns about the lack of measures in climate protection. Club chairman Werner Kogler and climate spokeswoman Leonore of Guessler denied that the current government unauthorized the course of implementing reasonable savings. According to Kogler, instead of environmentally friendly initiatives of the "demolition excavator", the ecosocial tax reform is abolished and the climate bonus is deleted. This is interpreted as a direct increase in tax, which particularly affects families with low incomes. According to the Greens, these measures violate the promises of the SPÖ, which still promoted climate protection in the election campaign, and lead to a double burden on the citizens.

The same is particularly alarming that the merging of central climate protection topics under one roof no longer works, which means that the priority on economic interests above climate protection. She criticizes the planned lobaut tunnel, which is supposed to lead through a nature reserve, and fears that in the support of renewable energies and e-mobility, savings will be made, which will drive up prices for clean technologies. Kogler also noticed that the abolition of the cold progression should particularly affect the low -wage earners and exposes the government as anti -social and unjust.

Criticism of the government promise and climate protection plans

"The activity of this government leaves many questions open," said Kogler, when he reported that the freedoms in the National Council are dissatisfied with the implementation of their election promises. Party leader Herbert Kickl announced that the government parties check by submitting appropriate applications. At the same time, he criticized the rental price brake as ineffective. The Greens demanded that environmentally harmful subsidies can be deleted and sensible financing strategies are implemented instead in order to do justice to the citizens and the environment. This clearly shows that the Greens do not want to lose sight of the responsibility for sustainable politics, even if the government swings in another course.
