“I do it. I run as spokeswoman for the Greens district,” said Minister of Protection of the former climate Leonore Gewessler in a video on social media on Wednesday. On Thursday she stepped for the press to explain her motives and programs, with which she would like to succeed again in elections. There was a lot of praise for her boss Werner Kogler, but also criticism of the party that “has been forgotten to listen”.
“It was 2123 days ago when I was quite nervous and started a new political life. That was surprising at the time,” Bewasler started her press conference of the application. Today she is just as nervous, but fairly routine. Then today Kogler was a strong supporter.
“Kogler is a great captain”
Last year he had already announced that Kogler, who praised the Gisser as a “big captain”, will no longer run to the chairman of the Greens. Since the government left the government, the Greens had withdrawn into the opposition role. They had played a subordinate role in the negotiations of the coalition.
“I want our children to do better than we – or as a good thing.” After all, her father always wanted that, said the green politician. But she didn’t want to dream of it, but Packle and spend the courage to achieve something. That is why she runs for the chair at the federal congress of her party on 29 June. She is aware that Kogler’s footsteps are quite large.
“We forgot to listen”
“I start so that our positions are not alone on paper. I want us to have grown the challenges alongside people so that they are better,” emphasizes the 47-year-old. In the coming weeks, the former minister wants to “go to the people and listen to them”, because as a coalition partner of the ÖVP had brought her party a lot, but often “forgot”.
How it goes
The new greens boss is Freestyle on June 29 at a federal congress in Vienna. The deadline of the application starts eight weeks before the federal congress, ie May 4, and ends four weeks earlier on 1 June. Opposing candidates are not excluded, but prominent challengers would be a surprise in view of the now unanimity.
