After three plenary days, the 183 MPs say goodbye for the Christmas holidays. They think about world peace, the end of fossil energy and good election results.
The National Council will meet for the last time this year on Friday. The three plenary days before the Christmas holidays were sometimes very emotional. Some MPs would like to see a more respectful approach to politics in the coming year, including Carmen Jeitler-Cincelli (ÖVP) and Dagmar Belakowitsch (FPÖ).
“Peace, peace, peace”
Other representatives threw even bigger wishes into the ‘crown box’ they brought with them: ‘Peace, peace, peace’, such as Reinhold Lopatka of the ÖVP. The wishes of the Greens are clear: “An end to fossil energy,” writes energy spokesman Lukas Hammer in his letter to the Christ Child.
SPÖ wants “affordable life for everyone”
Burgenland SPÖ MP Christian Drobits is pragmatic: “I would like to see a hard workers’ pension for the nursing staff.” His fellow party members, club leader Philip Kucher and Eva Maria Holzleitner, are also concerned with social issues. “We want affordable housing for everyone and that people can live from their work and not have to worry that the gifts for their children will have to be smaller.”
“A good government”
The third chairman of the National Council, Norbert Hofer (FPÖ), already has his thoughts about the upcoming elections in the autumn. “I hope for a good election result and a good government.”
The Neos also look to the future. Education spokeswoman Martina Künsberg Sarre dreams of a better education minister, her party colleague Gerald Loacker of a “next government that will first tackle pension reforms”.
