Youth State Secretary Claudia Plakolm (ÖVP) speaks clearly about the actions of the climate glue in the explosive krone.tv interview: “We need high prison sentences for professional demonstrators and demonstrators from abroad.” And stronger action must also be taken against child abusers: “The punishment for child abusers must be significantly increased. I demand a doubling or tripling.”
The reason for this is also the ‘Causa Teichtmeister’: ‘It is cynical that sex offenders can return to jobs in which they deal with children and young people.’ Plakom had already presented a far-reaching child protection package in January. It would be necessary for the Ministry of Justice to put this into practice now and ‘finally get going’.
Austrian youth are said to be “conservative but cosmopolitan”; there would still be a desire to own one’s own home. To this end, the federal government would consider suspending relevant additional costs such as transfer tax when purchasing the first home in life. This is still being negotiated, and Plakolm would certainly argue for its abolition.
Many other explosive topics, such as why the State Secretary for Youth drove the most kilometers in a company car of all ministers in the first half of 2023 and whether this should be allowed, can be seen in the video above.
