Gernot Blümel, finance minister and campaign leader of the Vienna People’s Party, wants to show the EU.
After his application for the new fixed cost subsidy for domestic companies was not accepted (Austria submitted an incorrect application according to the EU), Blümel did not submit a new application, but let the situation get worse. “Obviously, we can help Italians, Spanish or French with Austrian tax money, but not Austrian companies,” he roared indignantly at the EU Commission and its representative in Vienna, Martin Selmayr.
Criticism from the EU may please the politically homeless former FPÖ voters in Vienna, whom Blümel is targeting with these statements. But not everyone in your Vienna ÖVP likes it. Walter Ruck, chairman of the Vienna Chamber of Commerce and chairman of an influential wing of the Vienna ÖVP, signed a statement with a smile after Blümel’s criticism on Friday night to bring EU funds to Vienna, along with Selmayr and the mayor of Vienna of the SPÖ, Michael Ludwig. .
How was that with Simmering against Kapfenberg?
