In your opinion, what are the long-term benefits of increased youth engagement in political advocacy for both the ÖVP Senior Citizens’ Association and the broader community?
**Interview with Ingrid Korosec, President of the ÖVP Senior Citizens’ Association**
**Interviewer**: Thank you for joining us, Ingrid. Congratulations on the recent achievements of the Young ÖVP, particularly with Harald Zierfuß’s re-election. How do you view his leadership and its impact on youth issues in Vienna?
**Ingrid Korosec**: Thank you! Harald Zierfuß is an exceptional leader. His commitment to pushing youth issues forward is admirable and essential for addressing the needs of young people in our city. His re-election as regional chairman of the Young People’s Party is a testament to his dedication and vision.
**Interviewer**: One of the key highlights from your statement was the initiative for an annual ticket for students. Can you elaborate on why this is important?
**Ingrid Korosec**: Certainly! An annual ticket for students can significantly ease the financial burden on young people pursuing education. Mobility is crucial for students, and having an affordable public transport option enables them to study effectively and participate in their communities. Just as I see the senior ticket as vital for those in retirement, the student ticket empowers our youth.
**Interviewer**: You mentioned that Zierfuß has ideas and assertiveness across many areas of life. In your opinion, what are some of the key areas where the Young ÖVP needs to focus moving forward?
**Ingrid Korosec**: Youth employment and education must be a priority. We need to ensure that young people not only have access to quality education but also that there are sufficient job opportunities available upon graduation. Additionally, mental health and social integration are crucial areas where we should foster dialog and action.
**Interviewer**: As someone deeply involved in political advocacy, what do you think the broader implications of youth engagement in politics are for future generations?
**Ingrid Korosec**: Engaging young people in politics is vital. It fosters a sense of responsibility and community. When youth are active participants in shaping policy, they are not only advocating for their needs but also developing essential skills and a better understanding of the political landscape. This engagement will lead to more informed and proactive citizens in the future.
**Interviewer**: As a concluding thought, what message would you like to share with the voters of Vienna in relation to the Young ÖVP?
**Ingrid Korosec**: I encourage all voters to support initiatives aimed at empowering our youth. Harald Zierfuß and his team have a strong vision for the future, and their success depends on the backing of the community. Let’s work together to create an environment where every young person can thrive.
**Interviewer**: Thank you for your insights, Ingrid. It will be interesting to see how these initiatives develop.
