Leichtfried identified a desperate attempt by the Freedom Party to score points again with turmoil in the Vienna election campaign, which was coming to an end, in which everything had gone wrong; and that before one of the biggest health, economic and labor crises. “That shows where the FPÖ is, that is, on the sidelines,” he told a press conference.
According to Leichtfried, the FPÖ has always acted against the interests of the employees and was the “perfect support for the stirrup” of the head of the ÖVP, Sebastian Kurz, during the turquoise blue coalition. He was convinced that the latter was responsible for the current record unemployment, even now in the coalition with the Greens.
Leichtfried recalled the reduction of the labor market budget or the introduction of the twelve-hour day, the cancellation of the 20,000 campaign or the difficulty of partial retirement. For children, the ÖVP is responsible for the removal of the training guarantee up to 25. It also criticized the current small partner of the coalition, for example, due to the elimination of aid due to the Epidemic Law: “Regarding to labor market and employment policy, the Greens are just as reliable as the FPÖ when it comes to climate protection. “
Therefore, the SPÖ wants to use the special session to request an investment package for an unprecedented amount. Therefore, 40,000 million euros should be used over four years. Leichtfried wants a job program, tax cuts, federal liability for non-compliance for the healthcare system and taxes on millionaires. “That’s what tomorrow’s meeting is really about,” he said.
Club president Herbert Kickl and Vienna regional party leader Dominik Nepp on Tuesday criticized an “incorrect” policy in the area of asylum, which generates billions in costs. Kickl mounted harsh attacks against Finance Minister Gernot Blümel (ÖVP), from whom he expects a “turnaround in the direction of ‘Austria first'” when drawing up the next budget. According to Kickl, the expenses for the asylum area would be around two billion euros, which affects the areas of basic care, family benefits, integration, social assistance, medical care and labor market policy. This is an “intolerable situation. When, if not now, is there a chance to turn it around?” He asked.
The main candidate of the Vienna FPÖ and Deputy Mayor Nepp also declared that Vienna was “the main victim of this immigration madness”. 60 percent of the beneficiaries of the minimum income live in Vienna, more than half of them are foreigners. “Of course it is a certain attraction and a magnet for immigrants who come not only from outside Austria, but also from other federal states, because there you pay less.” Vienna failed to change that. Nepp found the blame for this not only with the red-green city government, but also with the “black-green alliance”.
