Vorarlberg

Und das haben viele Menschen dort nicht gemacht.

Und das ist jetzt auch vielleicht etwas Charakteristisches für Vorarlberg.

Ich komme selber aus Vorarlberg, deshalb darf ich mich da ein bisschen despektierlich äußern.

Es ist nämlich das Argument gekommen, dass der Landtag in der Mittagspause war und deshalb diese Bannmeile nicht so wahnsinnig streng gesehen wurde.

Das hat der VfGH natürlich nicht akzeptiert, aber ich habe mir gedacht, das ist eine interessante, ähm, eine interessante Art, dieses Problem anzugehen.

But 60 to 70 earthquakes a year are distinctly felt by people, meaning the ground shakes somewhere every month.

The most seismically restless zones remain the Rheintal valley in Vorarlberg, the Tyrolean Intal valley, the basins of the Moor and Morz rivers, the Semmering area, and even the Vienna basin, the Wiener Becken, right in the capital.

This is the result of constant tectonic plate pressure and movement deep within the young alpine mountains.

Rescue services remind everyone of the basic safety rules.

Tomorrow I will be at the AI Days.

I will be doing the opening keynote for the three-day AI Days in Vorarlberg.

I'm hoping to see lots of buddies over there and friends also.

A little surprise, I will be holding the keynote with my two daughters.

In Burgenland, the wait is two months.

And in Vorarlberg, a month and a half.

But note that these are routine appointments.

If you suddenly develop an acute condition or dangerous symptoms, never wait for weeks.

Lower Austria has opened its first administrative proceedings under the new school ban.

One of Salzburg's senior political figures has unexpectedly resigned.

Vorarlberg's budget for elderly care is under severe strain.

And mushroom pickers in several Bundesländer have received stern reminders about forest penalties.

If Vienna's primary challenge in schools is linguistic integration, the picture across the regions is highly varied.

An above average share has been recorded in Vorarlberg, where twenty-five percent of pupils speak a language other than German at home.

The lowest figures, by contrast, are in Tyrol and Carinthia at only around seventeen percent.

Yet in Tyrol itself, parents have spent years battling a different obstacle entirely, a chronic shortage of childcare places.
