Pepe Loibner: The young wind of the Greens in Döbling is blowing fresh!

Pepe Loibner brings a breath of fresh air to Döbling

At a time when the young generation often has the feeling that their concerns are not being heard in politics, Pepe Loibner, at the tender age of 19, took the plunge into the district parliament in Vienna. The city's youngest district councilor has brought a breath of fresh air with him by taking over the office as the new club chairman of the Green Döbling, as has the OTS reported. He succeeds Peter Kristöfel, who resigned from office after many years of commitment to the party. Kristöfel himself sees Loibner's youth as a great opportunity to bring new perspectives into the political discourse.

Future-oriented perspectives

Pepe Loibner sees his age as an advantage and is aware that he will be faced with an exciting challenge in the next five years. The versatile student of journalism and communication sciences as well as law knows that both courses of study give him valuable tools for his political career. “I would like to better represent the people in Döbling and create policies for all age groups,” explains the young Gröner. His commitment is not only aimed at getting citizens more involved in the political process, but also at tangible improvements in everyday life, such as creating more shops in the immediate area.

Refreshing approaches for young voters

The public discourse about youth and their representation is currently more relevant than ever. According to a study by the social research institute Foresight on behalf of Parliament, 90% of 16 to 26 year olds consider democracy to be the best form of government. Nevertheless, only 44% are of the opinion that the political system in Austria works well. This shows a worrying decline in trust caused by a lack of representation and often broken political promises. Loibner would like to start here and increase enthusiasm for political participation through clear and transparent communication.

For Loibner, reaching out to young voters is not just a political goal, but also a personal conviction. “We have to find new ways to get young people excited about politics and give them a voice,” he demands. Young people often feel inadequately trained in political debates and complain about a lack of competence in evaluating political information, which further inhibits engagement.

Creative solutions to the challenges

In addition to his plans for better local amenities in Döbling, Loibner also has an eye on social media - an important tool for forming opinions that is particularly popular among young people. The new club chairman sees great potential here to modernize political communication and reach more people.

With a busy schedule that will take him not only to the district council, but also to the hearts of Döbling's citizens, Pepe Loibner is already showing that he has a good handle on the challenges of the present. The future of his political work could be as fresh and dynamic as his age promises.

Pepe Loibner could thus become the key to an emphatic rejuvenation in Döbling's politics, which should also serve as an encouragement to other young people to get actively involved. It remains to be seen what changes he will bring about in the coming years. Together with his team, he has set himself high goals and wants to strengthen commitment within the community.
