Carinthia's SPÖ: Electricity tariff and kindergarten year for a fairer life!

At the traditional New Year's reception of the Renner Institute in Klagenfurt, the Carinthian SPÖ presented its central political demands for 2025: a nationwide social tariff for electricity and a second mandatory kindergarten year should make life for many people affordable and just more. Gaby Schaunig, the deputy governor, emphasized that the new Carinthian living allowance has been very well received since the beginning of the year and is able to offer twice as many people. "Living is one of the elementary basic needs that must be secured," she emphasized, pointing out the need to reduce the cost of living by demanding a social tariff for electricity, which in particular benefits low earners, as well as from Presse-Nachrichten reports .

Luca Burgstaller, the member of the state parliament, emphasized the importance of investments in education and called for a second mandatory kindergarten year so that all children receive the same opportunities. "Education begins at the early childhood age. Every child should get the same chances of starting," said Burgstaller. In total, Carinthia is planning to invest over 88 million euros in education, research and labor market measures, which should benefit young people in particular, as Click-Kaernten reports . Markus Marterbauer, chief economist of the Chamber of Labor, presented the economic challenges in his keynote and appealed to the need for a factual, fact -based discussion about the crisis management. He emphasized that despite his previous difficulties, Carinthia is considered a model region today and praised the stable political structures in the country, which are shaped by dialogue and respect.
