Responsible budgetary policy looks different – necessary economic measures are lacking – Viennese companies expect concrete support
Vienna (OTS) – “We are in an unprecedented health and economic crisis. The federal government is spending a lot of money to support businesses and secure jobs; however, the Vienna coalition is failing due to a budget with a forecast for the future, “said club president Markus Wölbitsch and president of the state parliament Manfred Juraczka about the Vienna budget for 2021.” Because what are the Neos doing with government involvement in Vienna to help businesses quickly and without bureaucracy? Establishes a working group with the SPÖ and remains inactive. But now is not the time for working groups, but to relieve companies and people! ”
The new Vienna People’s Party demands urgently needed economic measures from the Vienna coalition. “Where is the abolition of the subway tax promised by the Neos, where is the creation of tourist areas or the implementation of broadband expansion? Reduce bureaucracy and a location strategy for Vienna are also behind schedule. This budget, like the government’s program, is an embarrassment to a supposedly economically liberal party like Neos. Unfortunately, we didn’t expect anything more from SPÖ Vienna, ”said Markus Wölbitsch.
“Despite the good economic situation, the SPÖ has accumulated a mountain of debt of 10 billion euros for Vienna in ten years. Money that is now missing to combat the worst economic crisis of the 2nd republic. When we closed the 2019 accounts, we pointed out that emerging policies would not bring sustainable solutions. Even with the new left-left coalition paralyzed, Vienna will not dominate the crisis, but will continue to lag behind as a place, “explains Manfred Juraczka, continuing:” According to economic experts, we need a combination of measures to stimulate the economy on the one hand and greater austerity efforts on the other. Both the Vienna budget estimate for 2021 and the government program in question fail here. ”
According to an IHS study, the federal government has put together the largest economic stimulus package in Europe in terms of GDP, the main rating agencies have confirmed the stable assessment of Austria and thus the course of the finance minister, Gernot Blümel. “To get the federal capital out of the crisis again, a center-right policy with decency in economic policy is also required – Vienna needs more turquoise!” Concluded the ÖVP leaders.
