The decision to restrict particularly high special pensions was made last Friday. However, there was a formal error in the procedure.
The National Council has another problem, this time it is not about the budget but about pensions, specifically particularly high special pensions. These should only be increased to a limited extent. The National Council approved the corresponding decision last Friday. There was only one formal error in the procedure, which is why Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen could not sign the law according to information from the Austrian Press Agency. That is, everything repeats itself.
A special session of the National Council is reportedly planned shortly before Christmas, probably early next week. Then the Federal Council would also have to agree. In light of the new development, it will not do so in Thursday’s session, but will likely send the bill to the National Council.
This is a matter that was agreed unanimously and was expressly supported by all political groups. The objective of the initiative is to increase luxury or additional pensions in the (semi) state sector, which are subject to the Special Pension Limitation Law and exceed 2,333 euros, next year by a maximum of 35 euros.
