Why federalism?
„Because properly understood and lived federalism in a modern form is far beyond centralized systems.“Markus Wallner, Governor of Vorarlberg
„Because in the COVID-19-crisis, it is particularly important to be able to implement prevention measures that are precisely tailored to the respective region“Cornelia Lass-Flörl, Univ. Prof. Dr. med. univ., Direktorin der Sektion für Hygiene und Medizinische Mikrobiologie, Fachärztin für Hygiene und Mikrobiologie
„Because federal structures are more efficient, closer to the people, more widely accepted and thus also democratically better legitimized.“Wilfried Haslauer, Governor of Salzburg
„Because modern federalism gives the states and municipalities revenue and expenditure sovereignty in their areas of responsibility. A reform step that would be urgently needed for Austria.“Friedrich Schneider, University Professor of Economics, Linz
„Because common good-oriented and cooperative federalism creates vertical separation of powers, offers citizens more opportunities for democratic participation and conveys identity in a globalized world.“Anna Gamper, University Professor of Public Law, Political and Administrative Science, Innsbruck
