Politicians in Vienna: Surprising salary increase despite the zero -wage round!
In a remarkable decision, the National Council has decided on a zero -wage round for the politicians at the federal level, which will not increase the Chancellor's salaries, the minister, the MPs and the members of the Federal Council in 2025. Even the Federal President remains excluded from increases in salary, which, like Today. In contrast, Vienna raises the remuneration of its politicians by a whopping 4.6 percent. This means that the members of the state government and the municipal councils can also look forward to more money, which is a legal requirement for the Court of Auditors.
The planned increase could no longer be reversed because it has to be entered formally in the books, which is no longer possible this year. Although the NEOs were against this decision, they could not enforce their point of view. In addition, the city of Vienna will raise the salaries of the municipal services by 3.5 percent from January 2025 - this is the result of negotiations with the "Younion" union.
