Lower Austria votes – but what are we actually voting on? We have summarized the main topics of the state election campaign for you and also asked what the top candidates of the five parties already represented in the state parliament have to say about it. Part 1 of the new series “Krone” focuses on energy and the environment.
Nothing works without energy: Michael Singraber, master baker from the Lilienfeld district, also knows this. Energy prices have skyrocketed in recent weeks and months and cannot be fully passed on to customers. “I have been a master baker for 40 years and we have also been running a coffee house for 22 years. The increase in costs is difficult to absorb. However, energy prices are high and will remain so. As an entrepreneur, I can only wait and see if and when I receive government grants.” A problem that many people – including private individuals and families – face, and it shows the dependence on a few energy sources.
