Pension reform in danger: FPÖ demands rethinking in the social system!
Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - Salzburg's free state party chairwoman Marlene Svazek has sharply criticized the need to increase the WIFO to increase retirement age to 67 years. She described this as a clear sign of a miserable financial management and the failed labor market policy of the federal government.

She argues that a reformed orientation of the social system and the labor market is necessary before such a pension reform. Currently, over 70 % of the Syrians living in Vienna would be dependent on the minimum security, which further exacerbated the problem, such as the OTS reported.

While Kickl is pushing for a possible coalition, the chances of this seem to be low at the moment. Instead, the FPÖ could concentrate on an opposition strategy and use the next five years to continuously lead to the election campaign. "The FPÖ would continue in the opposition for five years of permanent campaign," said Filzmaier, which is certainly of interest in the light of the current economic situation. Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen will meet with all parties in the National Council on the situation of the formation of the government in order to explore possible coalitions, which was highlighted in the news ofDetails | |
