Why federalism?
„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 it is no coincidence that the most economically successful countries in Europe, Germany and Switzerland, are federally organized.“Günther Platter, Governor of Tyrol
„Because each federal state has its own particularities and for these particularities, tailor-made, regional solutions are needed.“Franz Jirka, Unternehmer und Spartenobmann Gewerbe & Handwerk der WK Tirol
„Because Länder, regions and – consequently – the quality of living for the people can develop effectively. A good and cooperative partnership at eye level and at all levels is crucial.“Johanna Mikl-Leitner, Governor of Lower Austria
„Because politics and authorities in their own federal state are closer to the needs of the people“Greta Lukasser, Student
