Old generation in the crossfire: Schartel criticizes coalition violently!

Österreich - On June 17, 2025, the FPÖ senior spokeswoman NABG. Andrea Schartel in a speech on the budget about the pressing problems that affect the older generation in Austria. Schartel sharply criticized the federal government and described the current coalition as a "loser coalition", which above all burdened the weakest of society, especially the older citizens. She emphasized that many older people who shaped the post -war period with their commitment to reconstruction are now suffering from the Draconian measures.

Schartel contradicted the statement by the SPÖ finance minister Marterbauer, who claimed that the distribution of financial burdens was balanced and socially just. In her argument, Satel reminded of the common fights with the SPÖ for the well -being of the weaker and now accused the party to pursue archaic policies.

stress for seniors

The specific loads that she denounced are the halving of the pension adjustment and the newly introduced e-card service fee for pensioners. The self -employment in patient transport also criticized. Schartel emphasized that the older generation in social life often does not experience the appreciation it deserves.

One of the problematic statements criticized by Schartel came from the ÖVP-ÖGK boss McDonald, who blamed the elderly for the health insurance deficit. In addition, she called for a limitation of medical services for people who do not contribute to this, as well as an end to the so -called "luxury medicine" for asylum seekers, which further fueled the already tense social discussions about integration questions.

discrimination and digital inequality

The older generation is not only faced with financial burdens, but also with increasing age discrimination. According to a study on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Family, Seniors, Women and Youth, older people often experience poorer treatment due to their age, which leads to injustices in many areas of life. Age discrimination is one of the most common forms of discrimination and affects many aspects, including financial transactions, commitment and living.

Schartel also drawn attention to the difficulties that many seniors have due to a lack of digital approaches. They often deny access to important information and services, which limits perception and participation in society. This structural discrimination, which is manifested in systems such as health, care and law, makes access to important services and contributes to the isolation of older people.

Finally, Schartel once again demanded that the voice of the older generation had to be increasingly recognized in political decision -making processes. She appealed to the dignity of this generation, which should no longer be ignored.

The challenges in front of which older people are facing are numerous and complex. A comprehensive social effort is required to combat this discrimination and promote an inclusive society. In the discussion about the political framework, the well -being of all generations should always be in the center.
