Critique of criticism around ÖVP budget: Kickl calls it document of failure!
On Saturday, Chancellor Christian Stocker gave an important speech at the State Party Congress of the Vorarlberg ÖVP. In his speech, he protected ex-finance minister Magnus Brunner and rejected the criticism of the ÖVP. This was accused of having "driven" the country "on the wall". Stocker emphasized that the previous decisions were based on forecasts, which would now be questioned from different sides. The answer of his opposition was not long in coming.
The FPÖ boss Herbert Kickl critically commented on Stocker's argument on Facebook. He described Brunner's budget policy as "irresponsible" and spoke of a "debt-misere". Kickl underlined that the ÖVP "still didn't understand anything" when it comes to dealing with the country's financial challenges. In a direct answer to Stocker's statement, he warned that Kickl's aggressive attitude will also remain noticeable in future parliamentary committees and special meetings. oe24 reports that Austria also pointed out that Austria was confronted with other decisive challenges.
criticism of the double budget
The FPÖ also expressed massive criticism of the current double budget 2025/2026, which was designed by the coalition from ÖVP, SPÖ and Neos. Hubert Fuchs, finance spokesman for the FPÖ, described this draft as a "document of failure" and not as a renovation budget. Among the allegations that the previous black and green government had caused a deficit of around 88 billion euros between 2020 and 2024, Fuchs added that the new government was planning further deficits of around 82 billion euros by 2029. fpoe.at reports that despite new load packages for the population, no essential impulses are given for the economy would.
In addition, fox complained about the lack of real structural reforms and savings, especially in the areas of asylum, migration and administration. He emphasized that Austria had an expenditure problem and no revenue problem. At the same time, he demanded an honest and fair budget policy in the interest of the population, since the previous politics is perceived as "anti -social, unsolid and dishonest".
household figures and renovation goals
The federal government presented the double budget with the aim of initiating renovation measures. Finance Minister Markus Marterbauer explained that a consolidation volume of 6.4 billion euros for 2025 and 8.7 billion euros for 2026 was earmarked. A big goal of these measures is to avoid high interest payments and create scope for investments. According to bmf.gv.at , the deficit of the overall state should be reduced to 4.5% of GDP in 2025 in 2025 become. \
However, the challenges should not be underestimated. The expenditure rate is expected to drop from 56.8% in 2025 to 55.0% in 2029, despite an increase in interest expenses. While savings are planned in the area of administration and the abolition of the climate bonus, the question remains whether these measures are sufficient in order to achieve the financial balance and at the same time not to burden the population excessively.
