Hospital Gols: Greens demand VFGH test, ÖVP remains skeptical

The Gols Hospital is currently at the center of a controversial debate among the Burgenland state parliament parties. The Greens demand to submit a constitutional complaint, but this is rejected by the People's Party (ÖVP). In a press conference, the Greens boss Anja Haider-Wallner commented that the change in the Hospital Act decided in March may be unconstitutional and violated European law.

The idea behind the law, which the SPÖ was adopted by the SPÖ in cooperation with the party -free Gefa Molnar, is to create a legal basis for future hospital projects. Haider-Wallner explained that the citizens' initiative in Gols could not bring in its own application to the Constitutional Court, but the parliamentary group could do this. In order to initiate the constitutional examination, however, you need the support of the ÖVP and twelve signatures.

criticism of the choice of location

Another point of dispute concerns the location of the new hospital, which, according to the Greens, was chosen unfavorably. The Golser Wiesäcker area, which is intended as a location, is a protected nature. Member of the state parliament Wolfgang Spitzmüller found that the health and ecological risks exceed the potential benefits of this location. According to Spitzmüller, an alternative location, about two kilometers away in Parndorf or Neusiedl, was more environmentally friendly and more harmless, and the project could have already been implemented.

In addition, Haider-Wallner raises questions about the financing of the hospital. The connection of funds for the hospital with funds from climate protection projects causes confusion. "The financial information presented left an impression of magic," she criticized and announced that it will be able to inspect the country's budget at the next state parliament meeting.

ÖVP rejects allegations

However, the ÖVP reacts to the accusations of the Greens. Club chairman Markus Ulram describes the claims for a constitutional lawsuit as a pure “pre -selection plane”. In his opinion, citizens should primarily receive a contemporary health care, not party political actions.

Mayor Kilian Brandstätter from Gols, who belongs to the SPÖ, is calm about criticism. He defends the elected location as the best for the new hospital in the Neusiedl district. The first soil investigations have recently been carried out, which are important for the upcoming architecture competition. Brandstätter at the same time rejected all party political games before the elections.

Overall, the Gols Hospital remains a hotly discussed point, which includes both political and health dimensions. The next steps will be crucial to clarify how the planned facility will continue.
