These are the new NEOS posters for the Vienna election
The NEOS presented their second wave of posters for the Vienna election on April 27th on Thursday. Unlike the first series, this time the top candidates, club chairwoman Selma Arapović and deputy mayor Bettina Emmerling, are also featured. The slogan "Honestly together" is at the center of the subjects. In terms of content, the Pink party is focusing on education as well as security and integration.
NEOS with another wave of posters before Vienna election
"Honestly together also shapes our election campaign," emphasized state manager Philipp Kern. This will now also be expressed on the posters. A second subject puts the next generations in the spotlight with children. From a pink perspective, this is intended to point out that one does not only vote for oneself. As a third variant, they are posting a "To-do List" for Vienna. The poster, which is rich in information for an election campaign, is "unconventional," admitted Kern. However, it contains important concerns that need to be implemented in the federal capital.
From a pink perspective, they want to eliminate the "imbalance" in minimum security, explained Emmerling. The social system should not be set up in such a way that it doesn't matter whether one works or not. Minimum security is an "emergency net" for those who cannot work. Emmerling can also imagine a reduction in financial benefits. "In any case, a nationwide uniform solution is needed." Additionally, the NEOS want to focus more on in-kind benefits in the future, especially for children.
Democracy school, Brussels and "Light Paths"
With the pink hobbyhorse of education, the NEOS remain true to their line. They want to continue advancing the modernization of schools, but also focus more on psychosocial health, such as expanding the pilot project of "School Nurses" in Vienna schools. Furthermore, Emmerling envisions a democracy school "to convey our values" and trips to Brussels "so that students can get to know the EU better." Of course, all this costs money, admitted the pink deputy mayor. But there is only one thing more expensive than education, and that is no education.
As further pink "beacons," top candidate Arapović presented the "Light Paths" project. For this, the NEOS have been out in the districts and talked to the population about where stronger lighting is needed to increase the subjective feeling of security. This resulted in a map that can be supplemented at any time. "It's not just about crime statistics, but also about the feeling of security," emphasized Arapović.
Police and Public Transport
The NEOS proposal to introduce a "Vienna Bonus" for police officers also strikes this chord. After all, it is different whether you serve in the federal capital or in the countryside. Another NEOS demand is for more security personnel in night public transport. A traffic-calmed city center is also still on the "to-do list." What former Transport Minister Leonore Gewessler (Greens) failed to achieve, "we will implement," said Arapović.
