SPÖ demands financial reform: Stöger with clear announcements to the ÖVP!

Oberösterreich, Österreich - The SPÖ Upper Austria raises serious claims to the ÖvP: The Ministry of Finance is to be submitted to social democracy. Alois Stöger, managing state party chairman, blames the ÖVP for the existing budget mash, which in his opinion endangers social services. "The restoration of a solid financial basis is essential - without social clearcut.

"If you want to rule differently and better, you must first take responsibility for the mistakes of your previous politics," he emphasizes. Therefore, the department could no longer be managed by the ÖVP during the upcoming government period. Stöger urgently calls for measures to discharge the social associations and municipalities that cannot find solutions in the current budget, as well as .
