List KPÖ/Links Presented Election Program for Vienna Election

The KPÖ/Links list will be represented on the ballot in all 17 constituencies in the Vienna election on April 27. They managed to collect the required signatures in all districts, which, besides them, only the former FPÖ leader Heinz-Christian Strache with his Team HC achieved. If they succeed in entering the town hall, they plan to be a "troublesome social opposition" there, as was emphasized today.

Vienna Election: KPÖ/Links List Criticizes High Energy Prices

Top candidate Barbara Urbanic criticized the "astronomically high energy prices." Vienna Energy is making record profits, for which the population has to "pay." She demanded a basic energy security. LINKS candidate and second on the list Angelika Adensamer complained that a third of Viennese people are not allowed to vote, even though the individuals concerned were born here. Therefore, a right to vote for all with permanent residence was demanded.

The "explosion of rental prices" was also targeted. The KPÖ/Links list advocated for a "large-scale resumption of the construction of city-owned apartments." For the private market, they are demanding, among other things, a "housing sticker" against so-called horror houses. Landlords should have to prove the habitability of the house every three years. In the health sector, higher wages and a reduction in working hours were urged.
