The Greens will lose their parliamentary group status in the Federal Council after having only four representatives in the Styrian elections. The ÖVP and FPÖ voted against the formation of their parliamentary groups, depriving the Greens of central rights such as the right to vote in committees. Marco Schreuder, former club chairman of the Greens in the Federal Council, criticizes this as “undemocratic”, while the FPÖ and ÖVP refer to the rules of procedure. Read here what the “Krone” community thinks about the lost faction status of the Greens!
Positive decision
The majority of our users support denying the Greens vital opposition rights. For KroneLeser1439228 This decision also increases confidence in politics. Also KroneLeser1439228 welcomes the withdrawal of the Greens’ co-decision as sensible.
“Legal and democratic”
Reader kaunitz50 I also cannot understand why the two parties should “work together”, the ÖVP and FPÖ have simply exhausted the existing options. “Krone” reader princess points out the legality, even if Mrs Maurer (Greens) does not like this.
“They only care about their power”
For Ylimmot96 The loss of the Greens means a trampling of democracy Quagga criticized that a similar situation of the FPÖ was not exploited by the other parties. Mr.xy even sees the decision as a retaliation by the ÖVP against the Greens – but the voters could also miss that. Isdesso believes that a new dimension has been achieved with the departure of the long-standing coalition partner.
Who sits in a glass house…
The ‘Krone’ users see the Greens as the main source of criticism: teufelchen0702 refers, for example, to the self-reflection of the climate party, which says that “instead of always just handing it out to other parties, it should also find fault with itself.” Jack79 sees the responsibility as falling on the Greens, who must follow his opinion.
