The special meeting of the National Council requested by the FPÖ was met with the chagrin of Leichtfried, deputy head of the SPÖ. He fears that it is an “incorrect asylum policy”.

The SPÖ criticizes the special meeting of the National Council requested by the FPÖ on Wednesday. The fact that this is supposed to be a so-called “wrong asylum, immigration and integration policy” was seen by Vice Club boss Jörg Leichtfried as a lost issue. Instead, the focus should be on the current labor market crisis, for which the SPÖ is not only to blame for Corona, but also for the ÖVP with its respective coalition partner.

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.

Greens and labor market, FPÖ and climate protection

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.
