The Austrian government faces decisive budget negotiations, which should begin in April and be completed on July 1st. In the comprehensive budget timetable, which Finance Minister Markus Marterbauer (SPÖ) recently presented, significant economic reforms and educational measures are outlined. The talks are particularly tense because the government strives to avoid an EU deficit procedure. The agenda includes the support for industry and specialists as well as the promotion of renewable energies, as Kosmo reported.
political dynamics and measures
The pressure on the government is growing, while Chancellor Christian Stocker (ÖVP), Vice Chancellor Andreas Babler (SPÖ) and Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger (NEOS) emphasize the urgency of measures to strengthen the business location. State secretaries such as Barbara Eibinger-Miedl (ÖVP) support Marterbauer to ensure economic stability. A package of measures that is supposed to boost the construction economy has already been adopted and includes simplifications in the construction process.
The government has also made significant progress in the education sector. On May 1st, a nationwide ban on mobile phone for pupils up to the eighth school level comes into force to promote concentration in schools, as determined by Education Minister Christoph Return (NEOS). In addition, digital education is further developed, which also includes the introduction of orientation classes for newly immigrated children. These initiatives are also in the context of the growing pressure to react faster to the needs of the population, especially with regard to reduced working hours and improvements in working conditions, such as Weekend Notes.| Details | |
