1.2 million euro campaign
FPÖ Deputy Mayor Markus Lassenberger is annoyed that the city senate is to decide over 1.2 million euros for a Covid 19 vaccination campaign. “This sum is not justifiable in times of the devil’s wave, Lassenberger explains in a broadcast.
“On August 10th, the city senate is to decide on the start of a vaccination campaign, for which the federal government is providing 1,231,350.00 euros. In times like these, when people lack financial resources, this is the wrong sign , Every financial measure against the inflation wave is more important than any PR campaign,” explains Lassenberger.
“Rather, the money to fight the wave of inflation should benefit the people of Innsbruck – finance the area of childcare, energy transition or other subsidies and benefits for the population,” Lassenberger specifies Innsbruckers in these difficult times.
Suggestions for traffic calming
According to the green club chairwoman Janine Bex, the nail on the head”, explain the Innsbruck Greens in a broadcast. the other factions are on diving station.” is the finding of the green club chairwoman. “Only the election-campaign ÖVP club chairman, who is already about to jump, greets him every day with malicious things from the press, otherwise the work would have apparently been stopped.” “The challenges for living together in our city are enormous and the desire for more participation on the part of the citizens is great, as is the great interest when Mayor Willi is out and about in the city with his “Willi on site” tour is.” emphasizes the green club chairwoman. She expects suggestions for traffic calming from the other fractions – this is a burning issue for climate protection reasons and because of the quality of life in the city – “we can also see that from what the citizens want and what is most common on the hands-on channels in the city of Innsbruck is demanded.”
What is Willy doing?
“The Innsbruck mayor keeps lamenting that he is having such a hard time and that he will only be able to work from 2024 after the local council elections. At the same time, the green party strategists are trying to underpin the mayor’s alleged diligence with a district tour and participation in a protest event,” explains the List for Innsbruck in one broadcast. The question that has been asked repeatedly in the media in recent days as to what the mayor actually does for a living hits the nail on the head all too well. At the same time, there is so much to do where he should be pedaling, as we see with the pedestrian zones.
“Anyone who invites the whole of Innsbruck and only holds four events, at which hardly 200 people were present, will not be able to feel like Andreas Gabalier of Innsbruck city politics.”
In the music industry, a tour like this would probably result in a quick dismissal from the management.” For Innsbruck club chairman GR Lucas Krackl And further: “If the party apparatus then tries to portray participation in protest events against Willis’ own recommendations as diligence, it becomes smart. That is quickly as smart as the “Bürgermeisters-Bürgermeisters-Klausuren-Tournee” through Tyrol organized at the expense of the city and bella Italia. Apparently, the Greens have a completely different understanding of the role of mayor than mine and many people I talk to every day”.
Mayor “can” only work from 2024
“Thousands of people have to work hard every day to make a living. Then a well-paid mayor comes along and explains that after 6 years of full pay he can finally work from 2024 after the election. That is a mockery of the people who are struggling financially in view of the inflation,” says Krackl. “Even if it’s possibly a wasted effort – it would be nice if the Greens from the Reds got to work on traffic calming and finally dealt with the topic of pedestrian zones. Green brakes and blocks all of our plans and traffic calming suggestions,” says Krackl. “It is important to pedal in order to bring something further for the people in our city. A city for the people offers traffic-calmed areas such as pedestrian zones that are of high quality and designed with green spaces. Ultimately, we must continue to hope that the Greens will also show a willingness to work and professionalism. The old town of Innsbruck sends its sad greetings,” concludes Krackl.
