Health pact and financial crisis: ÖVP plans drastic reforms!
In the picturesque vineyards of Langenlois (Krems district), a decisive closed conference of the ÖVP parliamentary club recently took place. This meeting brought together the entire leadership of the People's Party, including the members of the state parliament, members of the EU Parliament, National Council as well as state and federal government. The focus of the discussions was two central issues: the planned health reform and the critical financial situation of the country. How noe.orf.at reported, the cornerstones of health policy have already been presented to the 23 members of the state parliament and five federal councils, whereby the eponymous health pact is to be officially presented on Monday.
Financial challenges and road construction projects
The financial pressure is enormous: the country is struggling with a deficit of over 630 million euros due to the flood damage of the previous year, which is why a supplementary budget was required. "It is the country's duty to tackle the big issues," said club chairman Jochen Danninger. Despite these challenges, the ÖVP remains optimistic and relies on an early approval of the health reform in the state parliament. The courier reported The fact that Danninger emphasized that it was of enormous importance to drive the projects S1, S8 and the LobeTunnel after the new federal government gives more realism again. The construction projects are crucial for the economy, and after years of stagnation, one is now ready to take the necessary steps.
Despite the ongoing legal disputes regarding the S8 and the Lobautunnel, which are currently being checked at higher dishes, the ÖVP remains determined to advance its plans. These topics should not only be treated in the state parliament soon, but also implemented quickly as soon as there are positive reviews. Danninger dared to bring a zero deficit as a goal into play, while at the same time it was emphasized that 1,500 savings options were being examined in order to cope with the financial challenges.
