“Great Catastrophe” – Drexler: Flood victims need trust

The aim is to let the evacuated people back into their homes and get them back to work. For example, volunteer firefighters are currently being fired from their jobs. These things would concern people, they were the reality of their lives. Drexler had been asked in the “ZiB 2” earlier on Tuesday evening whether Austrian politicians would engage in debates that had little to do with the realities of people’s lives.

“Federal government better than its reputation”
He did not address the normality debate or other discussions, but at the same time assured that the federal government is better than its reputation. She would face a difficult legislature and a major catastrophe with the storms. Drexler is confident that she will set the right priorities in the future. That had previously sounded different in a newspaper interview, in which he talked about the fact that topics are often discussed that have little to do with the realities of people’s lives.

When asked, the governor of Styria addressed one of these debates – that of cash in the constitution. He spoke out against overloading the constitution. This should be a set of rules for the functioning of the state. Drexler is not interested in academic debates about what should and shouldn’t be in the constitution.

Some of Drexler’s statements have been recorded on X (formerly Twitter). Here you see one of them.

Further content of the “ZiB 2” interview was climate protection and climate activism. The chairman of the state party of the ÖVP Styria stated that climate protection was a decisive political goal. Every reasonable person knows that climate protection is the task of our time. He relies on technological progress.

Drexler is critical of the climate adhesives. There are much more sensible and efficient ways to achieve goals. The general awareness that something has to be done is already present anyway. According to the governor, climate protection must be compatible with prosperity.
