Concrete versus potatoes – that’s real toughness. Just like green against blue and black. The fact that the eastern ring road of Wiener Neustädter runs through fertile agricultural land brings the Green Vice Chancellor to the fore. He is running against the blue state board of transportation and the black mayor.
On Tuesday, Vice Chancellor Werner Kogler ventured into the depths of state and local politics. “It is a betrayal of the population if you want to build such a gigantic road construction project on the most fertile arable land,” said the Green party leader, referring to the planned eastern bypass of Wiener Neustadt.
No room for potatoes, etc
And Kogler added: “If we continue with the concreting, future generations will no longer have areas where they can grow vegetables.” The vice chancellor demanded: “The state and the concrete metropolis of Wiener Neustadt must immediately stop the madness.”
Counter-attack from Lower Austria
This brought to the fore State Transport Councilor Udo Landbauer (FPÖ), who confirmed that Kogler was “completely unqualified in traffic matters”. The project has been approved by the authorities and courts: “We live in a constitutional state and not in a green eco-dictatorship!” inactive.”
Of concrete heads and natural jewels
The final point in the verbal exchange was Olga Voglauer, Secretary General of the Green Party: she identified “concrete heads in the FPÖ and ÖVP who want to continue destroying natural jewels.” of the Lower Austrian People’s Party and the FPÖ in danger.
