Vienna, Maria Vbadilakou was one of the first people to welcome in the morning: "Welcome to the new life." However, Birgit Hebein has not arrived yet. The first sentences of the press conference offering a panoramic winter view over the roofs of Vienna are a bit steep: "I admit, I'm a little excited," she says. And: "I hope you do not have too many questions because I do not have all the answers."
Presumably, despite the media training already completed, the press meetings will not become the favorite of the honeymoon of the future. She was less surprised by her victory than many others. She had a lot of support from well-known greens and NGOs. And she positioned herself from the beginning as the "middle". As federator of the camps, Peter Kraus, favorite of Vbadilakou, face David Ellensohn, the boss of the club.
– c) The press
The strategy has borne fruit in an electoral system where votes can be cast for several candidates. For those who gave Kraus his first voice, he did not want to give his second voice to Ellensohn – and vice versa. Hebein therefore received many second votes. In the count, Kraus was almost at the end before Hebein. She won thanks to the second votes of Camp Ellensohn. With a hundred votes in advance, the final score was 1244 to 1138.
Old school, so what?
And so, in the end, we won, which originally did not want to compete. But what does she want now? His keynote address will be delivered by Hebei at the State Assembly on Saturday. But even on Tuesday – even if she did not answer questions – it became clear where the trip was going. For the concept of federal greens – to the good German model, emphasizes young and discreet recovery of the bourgeoisie – corresponds in any case only partially. In unison, from "press" to "standard", their victory was counted as a left-back. The left-wing label accompanied Hebein, who was "very left" in his youth, throughout the election campaign – and now, he annoys them boldly: "Of course, I do politics left, what d & # 39; other?" do not be afraid. "The political left represents humanity, justice, respect for the environment -" I ask you: what is bourgeois politics? "Simply good, it's not so easy.Hebel's name is above all social policy.Each subject – including the climate crisis – brings them back to the social.This tactic was originally born of the need Because in the social field, Hebei knows better, he is his pbadion, while the social is also the guiding thread, in the double sense Hebein often says that he wants to make the connection between ecological problems. and social and comes in their remarks about "poor" and "hacker" back.
Hebein will he poach in red fields? Yes. Less museum district, more suburbs – that's the motto. The native of Carinthia cultivates the image of the fighter for socially vulnerable people, that of the politician with a grip on the field – the "political life": Hebein biking even in the winter, wants to make demonstrations. The attribution "return to green values" is only right.
This includes citizen movements for them. Already, she makes a hard promise. She wants to be more "out with people", make home visits, allow citizens to "spaces of self-organization" and "cope with all the discussions". Vbadilakou did not like it so often – and not so much anymore.
Main thing "together"
Speaking in common: the word Hebein often uses. She wants to be supported by a "team" in technical matters. But the name does not name it. If their opponents will play a role in the future and which is still open. The only thing that is wrong is that everything is – as she points out – decided "together". Today Wednesday, she wants "jointly" with Maria Vbadilakou specify the timing of the transfer of functions (acting mayor, advisor on transport and urban planning).
As for the future. With Hebein, it will be more difficult for the SPÖ – even the debate on the minimum income is not as harmonious as he predicted. But Hebein has been in business for a long time. She knows the game of exchange. And she can not be interested in previous elections. Because he has the same problem as his lower colleagues: until now, no one knows her outside of the green universe.
