Austria in change: Drei coalition brings profound reforms!

In Vienna, the party leaders of ÖVP, SPÖ and NEOS presented a comprehensive government program on Thursday entitled "Now do the right thing. For Austria". This document forms the basis for the first triple coalition in the second republic. At the presentation, the three top politicians, Christian Stocker, Andreas Babler and Beate Meinl-Reisinger, emphasized their willingness to cooperate and willingness to compromise. A central point of the program is a rigid budget consolidation, especially in the area of ​​asylum and integration measures, to avoid the EU deficit procedure, such as kathpress.at reported.

In the field of asylum law, the new government plans to tighten drastic tightening, including a temporary ban on family reunification and the introduction of return procedural centers for rejected asylum seekers. Their goal is to reduce the number of asylum applications in Austria to zero, which could result in the theoretical triggering of the EU emergency clause. A three-year integration program for asylum seekers and beneficiaries is introduced, which include mandatory language courses and the signing of a declaration of anti-Semitism. A "basic security" to combat child poverty by 2030 will also be implemented, while social welfare is to be fundamentally reformed, as orf.at reported.

economic incentives and social changes

The new coalition sets clear economic incentives to increase the number of working hours. Overtime and surcharges should be favored for tax purposes. For the labor market service (AMS), additional funds for short -time work and specialist offensive are planned. In order to increase the pressure on the social benefits of asylum seekers, they should only receive full support after a three -year integration phase. A legal sustainability mechanism is sought in the pension area to ensure future stability.

The planned reduction in non -wage costs and tax incentives for employment should be strengthened. The responsible management of inflation and a sustainable policy in terms of rents and energy prices are further focus of the new government. These measures are intended to help secure the quality of life of the citizens and to consolidate Austria's economic stability.
