Central political demands
- “Ten percent of the population own two thirds of the wealth, the remaining 90 percent of the population have to share the remaining third. So it is only fair if the ten percent "rich" also make a contribution to society! "
- “People need work. Work that they can live on. People also need security: security in the event of illness, security in old age and security in the event of unemployment. "
- “If women's equality is not just preached in Sunday speeches but is a real concern, the public sector can lead by example. No public contract, no funding - if there is no women's advancement program in the company and it is practiced. "
- "It is not enough to be the number 1 state for apprentices - Upper Austria has to become the number 1 state for education."
- "Bilingual schools for migrants should improve their chances and help the local economy."
- “Two-tier medicine must be broken. Everyone has the right to the same treatment. "
- “Commuters must be relieved. Commuters want better public transport, so implementation is urgently required. "
