On Monday, the new number one was presented to the Greens of Vienna: Birgit Hebein is the new candidate in mind.
At 51, he will be not only the first candidate in the 2020 Vienna election, but also the new deputy mayor. Transport advisor Maria Vbadilakou, the transport commissioner, recently announced that she will retire until next summer and make way for the future candidate. Birgit Hebein has been a municipal councilor for the Greens since 2010.
Even though she has never appeared on her "to-do list in the life plan", as she revealed in an interview, it's still her: Birgit Hebein leads the Greens in the elections of Vienna in 2020. It is after the long-time leader, Maria Vbadilakou again a woman at the head of the Greens.
Birgit Hebein: Characteristics of the new candidate Top Vert
Hebein (51) has been a member of the local council since 2010 and is his spokesman for social affairs and security. Previously, she was district councilor and club employee in Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus for five years. In addition, Hebein was active from 2000 to 2002 with the AUGE Green Union. Prior to her political career, the graduate social worker worked in the social service of the Caritas Vienna station and the consortium of conscientious objectors.
In his professional life, Hebein's content remained faithful to his political life. It focuses on poverty reduction and social justice. She cites youth training, homelessness treatment and minimum income as examples of her work priorities. As a social spokesperson, Hebein played a key role in the negotiations on the new social security model of Vienna last year. The prohibition of alcohol on the Praterstern, implemented by the SPÖ, sharply criticized it.
Still in the internal election campaign, she focused on social policy. "Without social security, there is no social peace," she said. As a political goal, she exclaimed "to give people the opportunity to determine their own destiny". In addition, Hebein pointed out that she was the only woman among the established candidates: "the future is a woman" was the motto of her campaign spot. As a "stubborn negotiator", hard and experienced, she describes herself.
The greens of Vienna present Hebein on Tuesday
The new main candidate, Birgit Hebein, will be on display Tuesday at a press conference scheduled at 11:00 in Cloud 21 at Saturn's Tower. There, the details of the vote will be announced. Because the Greens innovated with the postal vote, they opted for a relatively complex mode.
In addition to Hebein, five people stood up to vote, namely City Hall Club Director, David Ellensohn, Councilor Peter Kraus, Meidling District Council, Benjamin Kaan and Dr. Marihan Abensperg-Traun . For two weeks, party members and registered external voters had time to vote. Some 3,400 people were eligible to vote.
Those wishing to vote in person could do so on Monday in a polling station at the party headquarters in Lindengbade. As the party announced on Monday, 2,600 people finally took part in the green polls.
Victory requires a simple majority – at least 50% plus one vote. As it is unlikely at first sight in the face of five competitors, the Greens have built some sort of run-off in the mode. In this system known as "instant run-off", voters not only name their favorite, but also rank the other candidates.
If there is no clear winner in the evaluation of the first votes, the count will continue, taking into account the ranked names – and this until the winner is clearly determined. . This system has been used today as it was called at the request of the APA. More details on the result will be announced tomorrow.
Until now, elections have always been made by the largest party committee, the state badembly. This will take place next Saturday, Hebein will deliver his inaugural speech. Delegates will then continue the debate on the procedure for creating the list.
For the new mode was for the moment only the procedure for the best candidate. If a similar system is also used in the ranking of the remaining seats or in the details, this will be decided first.
