Vienna Charter

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Vienna Charter is a project decided by the red-green city government in Vienna to improve coexistence in the city. The government representatives describe it as one of the largest citizen surveys in Europe.

background

It was announced after the state and municipal council elections in 2010 and completed in 2012. Many see it as an attempt by the left-wing parties to take away the leadership of the FPÖ in the area of ​​integration from the FPÖ under Heinz-Christian Strache , even if it was definitely not presented as a pure integration project.

The aim is to establish legally non-binding rules of play and behavior for Viennese . For this purpose, topics will be collected between March 19 and April 1, 2012 with the participation of citizens. In addition, several non-governmental organizations are to be involved. The finished charter was presented in November 2012.

criticism

Erich Kocina of the daily newspaper Die Presse thinks that this project bears the “ handwriting of the Greens ”. He criticizes the fact that in any case only those will take part in the civic participation process who " are already organized, that is to say NGOs, Caritas, parishes, initiatives with grassroots democracy ". In the end there will be an ambitious paper, but Kocina doubts that it will solve the integration problems.
