After pressure from ÖVP club president August Wöginger, who spoke out in favor of revising the European Convention on Human Rights, Tyrolean Greens club boss Gebi Mair called for “outrage in the ÖVP”. He expects ÖVP members at both state and federal level to make it clear that Wöginger’s demand “does not correspond to the attitude of the Christian Social Party”.
So far it has been “considerably too quiet for him from the ÖVP” on this issue, Mair noted, addressing in particular the Tyrolean state party, which was until recently the coalition partner of the Greens in the state . Together with their new coalition partner SPÖ, he also testified to a desired “discourse shift to the right”. Under the Black-Red state government and under Deputy Governor Georg Dornauer (SPÖ), who is responsible for refugee issues, “the right to asylum is being called into question”.
“Conservative Turn”
This means that a kind of “conservative turnaround” is taking place both in Tyrol and across the country. ÖVP club president Wöginger is also consciously committed to this. “He’s professional enough to know exactly what he’s doing and planning to do with it,” said the president of the Greens Club and member of the state parliament.
It is all the more important that the Greens continue to govern at the federal level. “We need the Greens as an alternative to counter this shift.” As you can see in Tyrol, for example, parties like the SPÖ would otherwise “align with the conservative style of the ÖVP”.
Greens for faster asylum procedures
The green handwriting alternative to black and red must also be documented at the state level with associated filings and investigations this week in the November state legislature, it said. “We want faster asylum procedures and we expect the causes of flight in general to be addressed,” said state lawmaker Zeliha Arslan, who also serves as asylum spokeswoman for the Greens. In addition, asylum seekers need a “better care key”.
In addition, with a written request to the new Minister of Health Cornelia Hagele (ÖVP), among other things, the long waiting times in the field of child and adolescent psychiatry are brought to the table, explains Petra Wohlfahrtstätter, member of the Green Parliament. . Questions about measures to reduce social inequality among children or “health sector heat action plans” would also like to be put to the state parliament.
