Dispute about the minimum income



[ad_1]

Vienna. On Wednesday, Sebastian Kurz and HC Strache decided to defend their new welfare program after the Cabinet meeting. The Chancellor pointed out that half of the recipients were foreigners. He also defended mbadive cuts in multi-family families.

As AUSTRIA says, a family of four will receive only 1,640 euros instead of 2,227 euros a month. In short: "If you include the family allowance, you are already at around 3,000 euros, there are often people going to work."

Strache stressed: "We have adopted an unjust model of the SPÖ, which is now more precise, fairer and fairer".

While the countries governed by the ÖVP see the agreement as positive, the SPÖ countries, Vienna, Carinthia and Burgenland, repeat the uprising. According to rumors, the mayor of Vienna, Michael Ludwig, would not have spoken to the countries yet. And Peter Kaiser of Carinthia is furious in AUSTRIA: "This model is a madness."

  • Children. Reason for irritation: it is reduced in multi-child families, but even couples with two children will receive less in the future, predicts the AK: Up to now, this is 39, was 1 605.26 euros, in the future it is 125 euros. In the future, the third child will receive 43.15 euros / month. A number, however, later corrected by the government. Tyrol Provincial Councilor Gabriele Fischer (Greens): "It's not enough for the diapers."
  • Refugees. In the future, if they do not speak German well, you will receive 300 euros less.
  • Dispute on emergency badistance. But the real point of disagreement dates back to 2019: emergency badistance should be reformed – and Kurz did not rule out the fact that the youngest with few insurance periods can fall into the minimum income.

Hackers: "He will not play with us"

AUSTRIA: What do you say about the new minimum income protection? So will be reduced with the refugees 300 euros.

Peter HACKER: The Confederation is withdrawing completely from its task of integration. People should pay for the German courses themselves, it is really inside. And if they speak German, they will receive a bonus of 300 euros. It's cynical. Barely cynical.

AUSTRIA: And cuts in children?

HACKER: In all clarity: it will not play with social democracy! The kids will not be the losers here.

AUSTRIA: So, Vienna will not finally implement the reform?

HACKER: There is not even any law yet. When the design comes, we will consider it seriously. Until now, shadowgeboxt is: The 300 euros hardly hold European law. And the five-year waiting period is the applicable law. All cinnabar. For this, the government is reducing children. We will certainly resist.

Kaiser: "It's crazy"

AUSTRIA: What do you say about the new minimum income protection?

Peter Kaiser: A madness.

AUSTRIA: Why?

Kaiser: I can not understand what it is planned to cut with the kids. Foreigners or not, they are only people. One-third of the 307,000 minimum wage earners are children, that's crazy. And we do not even talk about one percent of all social spending.

AUSTRIA: Will be cut also with the refugees …

Kaiser: … for people without a certificate of completion. This also concerns Austrians – and therefore already disadvantaged people.

AUSTRIA: What will Carinthia do now?

Kaiser: We will see what regional scope the law offers us. But that's where the future of many children is lost – what kind of politics is that?
