[With basic income,] people can rest and recover their freedom. Thus basic income would also unleash innovation [and relieve people from their] existential fears.

Verified. The source URL (basicincome.org) returned 403 to direct WebFetch, but a web search returned the exact same URL as the top result with a snippet directly quoting Zotter: "people can rest and recover their freedom. Thus basic income would also unleash innovation." This matches the opinion text. Author attribution is correct — Josef Zotter is the well-known CEO of Zotter Chocolates (Austria) and a documented UBI advocate; the original interview was with Der Standard and reported on BIEN. Year (2015) matches the source URL path. Vote alignment is correct: the quote endorses basic income, and the recorded vote on "Implement a universal basic income" is "for".
