“The debate initiated by Federal Minister Leonore Gewessler about the so-called ‘greening’ of commuter assistance is nothing other than an attack on the working population in rural areas. This will certainly not happen with the People’s Party of Lower Austria. Because this debate leads to massive uncertainty among commuters and does nothing to help the climate in this country. Unfortunately, the Greens now only pursue a policy driven by climate glue. They ignore the needs and concerns of the rural population. For many Lower Austrians who rely on cars, this is a pure provocation,” emphasizes Matthias Zauner, regional manager of the Lower Austria People’s Party, regarding the statements made by Federal Minister Leonore Gewessler in the Ö1 “Journal guest”.
