Who is particularly affected by poverty in Graz? What are the poverty traps? Why does it particularly affect women? Where can people turn when poverty threatens? What is sufficiently available in Graz? What is missing in terms of infrastructure or legal regulations? And how would the social system need to be changed to address more care aspects?
Greeting: Sibylle Dienesch (Director Graz Museum)
Opening: Mayor Elke Kahr
Introduction by Attac Graz: “A guessing game about wealth in Austria”
“The current neoliberal system is destroying us as humans and our planet. The financial sector dominates the world. The fortunes of individuals are growing and a power elite has emerged. Our society is divided into rich and poor. And the super-rich – who are not so super – influence politics and thereby endanger democracy. With a short guessing game that everyone can take part in, we want to show how the state diverts a lot of money to the rich and what the poorer population urgently needs.” (Attac Graz)
