City-Maut wants to check red-black city government-Diepresse.com
SPÖ and ÖVP have agreed on a work program entitled « Future Bregenz 2025-2030 ».
Vorarlberg’s state capital Bregenz will be ruled by a SPÖ-ÖVP coalition in the next five years. The two parties agreed on a work program « Future Bregenz 2025-2030 », which they presented on Wednesday morning. The idea of a city toll is also found in the paper. mayor Michael Ritsch (SPÖ) and the designated Vice Mayor Roland Breakfast (ÖVP) emphasized that they wanted to work together and future -oriented for the good of the city.
In the municipal election on March 16, the SPÖ had replaced the ÖVP as the most powerful faction and for the first time since 1995 in first place. Michael Ritsch (SPÖ) had been confirmed as mayor. The SPÖ achieved a vote of 42.71 percent (2020: 29.58) or 16 (2020: 11) of 36 mandates. The Bregenz ÖVP found itself in second place with 30.14 percent (2020: 39.37) (11 mandates, 2020: 15). Ritsch emphasized that 27 of the 36 city representatives of SPÖ and ÖVP are provided in the future city council. This was a central impulse to have in -depth discussions with the ÖVP. Since the municipal elections in 2020, the free play of forces in Bregenz had prevailed, before (from 2005) the ÖVP had determined together with the Greens.
Maut would be technically easy to implement
The city council will belong to ten people, in addition to the mayor of four representatives of the SPÖ, three of the ÖVP and one from the FPÖ and the Greens. The work program includes the construction of 600 non -profit apartments and a social center as well as the advancement of the new construction of the train station. But the idea of introducing a city toll also made you listen. A Dutch architect brought him to the thought, explained Ritsch. Bregenz only has four city entrances, so a toll would be technically relatively easy to implement using a digital recognition system. Should pay who happens two city entrances within half an hour – so the passage would be asked to checkout. Specifically, nothing is yet nothing. The work program states to check the introduction of a city toll together with the state of Vorarlberg. Ritsch stated that the affected roads are exclusively state roads. Breakfast noticed that you would like to be « pilot » when it comes to city.
The concept of a « classic coalition » does not fit for their cooperation, according to Ritsch and breakfast. The areas held are completely out of dispute, but on other topics it is also possible to search for other majorities. However, possible discrepancies should initially be discussed in a “coordination committee”, which is part of Ritsch, breakfast and the two club guards Annette Fritsch (SPÖ) and Michael Felder (ÖVP). In addition, the FPÖ (11.20 percent, four mandates) had a « topic -related agreement », said Ritsch and breakfast. This ensures that you pull together on topics such as pedestrian zone, train station or the underground railway line expansion discussed. With the Greens (10.99 percent, four mandates) and the NEOS (4.96 percent, one mandate), such an agreement is not necessary because one is already of the same opinion. The fact that the Greens were disappointed with the election result was all too understandable, Ritsch thanked the non-present mayor Sandra Schoch (Greens).
When asked how one wanted to finance the diverse plans, Ritsch emphasized that the action of « Harakiri investments » was excluded. The central point is to « create the break » at the current budget. Saving is to be saved in the 800 people, for example, specifically, Ritsch and breakfast did not want to say. (APA)
