Economic lobby stirs up panic! AK boss Zangerl raises the alarm!

The Tyrolean AK President Erwin Zangerl raises the alarm and criticizes the economic and industrial policy actors who try to enforce their interests with “panicism”. According to Zangerl, the current warnings, Austria are on the abyss, not only exaggerated, but also neglect the reality that the economy is not just about an end in itself. Zangerl warns that this tactic has led to the triple coalition broken because the pressure on the government negotiators has increased extremely by the lobbyists. The measures required by the economy would heavily burden employees and endanger the welfare state, said Zangerl in a critical statement.

criticism of the supposed "culture of remembrance"

The support of the economy during pandemic is traded by Zangerl as a short -term measure, which is now forgotten, although its failure regarding inflation should be perceived urgently. "Where were the critics when we warned about the dangers of arbitrary economic aid?" He asks. Zangerl expresses special anger about the energy costs, which is mentioned as the reason for the economic hardship: "Industry has no interest in a true debate about pricing" - energy companies have made enormous profits until the end, while the workers suffer from the higher costs.

In addition, Zangerl shocked the demand from the State Councilor Mario Gerber that the Tyrolean workers should work longer while social benefits are shortened at the same time. He sees such suggestions as a danger to social peace and as not in the interest of the majority of the population, which is directly affected by these measures. In his opinion, the time of the "completely unnecessary" statements must finally end, since the interests of the employees are neglected here, such as dolomitenstadt.at and tirol.orf.at report.
