Vienna politics in focus: City takes over controversial stadium project!
The city of Vienna is in a huge change, because it is planning to build the long-awaited long-distance tension terminal in the third district itself. After years of the back and forth, which is characterized by failed PPP agreements (“public private partnership”), it has now been decided that the city is responsible.

This led to the cancellation of the contracts by the annoyed city administration, such as the Kurier reported.

Economist Oliver Fritz from WiFo described the investments as necessary in areas that belong to the public sector - but the stadium sounds voices that demand more critical consideration of meaning. Political consultants also emphasize that these decisions must be considered in the context of an upcoming election year, since critics question the massive use of tax money.
