Fight against social abuse in focus

In a press conference, the FPÖ presented a comprehensive seven-point plan to combat social service fraud in a press conference. The freedoms base themselves on alarming numbers that show that a total of 371 suspected cases were recorded in 2023 and 389 suspects were researched, with the majority of foreigners. The possible damage caused by social fraud in Styria amounts to a considerable 1.6 million euros. FPÖ social spokesman Marco Triller called for the introduction of a survey service to monitor the living situations of the social welfare recipients and prevent abuse, such as Freilich-magazin.com reported.

The other proposals include the recovery of illegally related social benefits and the introduction of a reporting obligation in the event of violations. In addition, an adaptation of the social welfare laws should be made to avoid overgrowth. Triller confirmed the urgency of these measures and criticized the current state government for its inability to find effective solutions to social abuse. An extensive approach that includes both preventive and repressive measures is the focus of these efforts to determine a clear and successful course for the FPÖ in the new legislative period.
