Defense proposal against the city council: SPÖ in social pliers!

On Monday evening, Interior Minister Gerhard Karner and Mayor Klaus Schneeberger (both ÖVP) caused a sensation at the local inspection at the Vienna Neustädter train station. SPÖ City party leader Rainer Spenger suffered sharp criticism and described her presence as a "embarrassing show policy". With unmistakable words, he made it clear: "This idea of ​​the municipal council elections is credible like a seller who does not have his goods." It was noteworthy that the minister pushed into the public just a few weeks before the elections, which Spenger denounced as little credible.

motion of no confidence against Peter Hacker

But that's not the only message from politics that attracts attention. The ÖVP has decided to contribute to SPÖ City Councilor Peter Hacker a request for no confidence that will be dealt with in the local council on Wednesday. This has been the first application for no confidence since the 2020 Vienna elections, which could consider the political mood considerably. The application comes after an expired ultimatum of the ÖVP, which Hacker should move to the reform of the Viennese minimum security, which he rejected, reports Press .

The reason for the application is strong: ÖVP and FPÖ accuse Hacker to refuse to a factual argument and thus endanger the social balance in Vienna. In particular, it is noted that Hacker disregarded the federal social assistance law by granting subsidiary minimum security that does not do justice to its situation. "In view of the challenges of our city, such behavior can no longer be tolerated," the application said. The political excitement could therefore put both hackers and the SPÖ in an uncomfortable light while the upcoming elections are getting closer.
