In the interview, Minister Leonore Gewessler (Greens) comments for the first time on the latest revelations about ex-VP Chancellor Sebastian Kurz. Last year it was “the right decision” to give the ÖVP an ultimatum to continue to rule. What is the current mood within Turquoise-Green? “Of course it is an issue that weighs on us,” said the minister.
Environment Minister Gewessler actually wanted to celebrate the presentation of the energy bonus dashboard on Thursday. But the allegations against former Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, reported by his former companion Thomas Schmid, overshadow the news. It is “bad” that faith in politics has been lost. With her work she tries to restore confidence in politics. She also made an appeal in a conversation with Katia Wagner: “The ÖVP-U committee must continue!”
Cook with lid, lower temperature: “Please help!”
However, the energy dashboard (energie.gv.at) gives Gewessler reason to be happy. Anyone can see the current gas storage level, which is currently 87.44 percent. She is now confident that we will make it through the winter, but urges us to save anyway. ‘Help please!’ she shouts to the Austrians. You can contribute with simple tips such as cleaning radiators, cooking with a lid or driving slower.
Should asylum seekers also receive a climate bonus? “Envy Debate”!
Your conclusion about the climate bonus is positive. Gewessler does not understand the discussion whether asylum seekers should also receive the bonus. “I don’t understand why this envy debate has started, that people who already have little should have even less,” said the minister. And: “The climate bonus goes to everyone in our country.”
