After "months of back and forth," there is finally a government program, said Green Party leader Werner Kogler on Thursday. The "imminent danger of a right-wing extremist, anti-European, and freedom-restricting FPÖ chancellor" has been "averted for now," Kogler stated in a statement.

Kogler: Greens Want to "Critically Accompany the Work of the Government"

Now it must be shown whether the new government can tackle the major challenges with the program presented on Thursday. "We Greens will take a close look at the program and critically accompany the work of the government," emphasized Kogler. The Green Party leader is appreciative of the plans such as a second mandatory kindergarten year, a child basic security, and an independent federal prosecutor's office. These are initiatives that the Greens have not only demanded but also prepared over the past five years. Kogler hopes that the coalition does not lose its ability to compromise. He was critical of the dismantling of the Climate Ministry.
