"That touched me deeply": Michael Ludwig (SPÖ) in the Wordrap before the Vienna election
In the run-up to the Vienna municipal and district council elections, city leader Michael Ludwig welcomed VIENNA.at to City Hall to discuss political as well as personal matters. The SPÖ frontman mentioned the most important issue for him in the election campaign and his goal for the decision day on April 27. He did not want to commit to naming the most beautiful coffee house in the city.
The most memorable moment in the election campaign was…
...I wouldn't say in the election campaign, but in the last few days, it was definitely the inclusion run, which precedes the City Marathon, where I walked the last few meters together with the participant who finished last, and it touched me very much that this very young woman made a great effort and fought hard to reach the finish line and rightly felt it as a personal victory. It moved me greatly that she managed to reach the finish line with great effort and a lot of willpower.
The most important issue for me in the election campaign is…
…health. And it is important to me, within the framework of so-called preventive medicine, together with the Medical University, the Medical Association, the Austrian Health Insurance Fund, and the KFA, to bring preventive medicine to the forefront in order to reduce human suffering caused by illness in the future and to contribute to keeping the healthcare system financially stable.
My greatest political dream for Vienna includes…
…that we succeed in implementing further measures in the field of health prevention, not only to extend life expectancy but also to ensure that people remain healthy until the end of their lives.
On the evening before the election, I will…
…have dinner with my wife.
My election goal is…
…to come close to the result of the last Vienna election, which was a very good result, but considering that in recent years the ruling parties in the federal states have lost between 3.5 and 10 percent, it would be important for me to come close to this election result.
I prefer to celebrate an election victory in…
I would say, in the company of friends.
In the summer after the election, I will go on vacation to…
I will spend the summer in Vienna. I couldn't imagine a better place to spend the summer days.
The best viewpoint in Vienna is at…
…Bisamberg. I like to go hiking there on Sunday mornings if at all possible.
The most pleasant subway line in the city is…
All of them.
The most beautiful coffee house in Vienna is…
There are so many great Viennese coffee houses that not only the Viennese appreciate, but also many guests who come to our city. I wouldn't want to commit to a single coffee house.
