The governor of Vorarlberg, Barbara Schöbi-Fink (ÖVP) is now also joining the discussion about Wien Energie, which is facing enormous financial problems. Should the state intervene for Wien Energie, it also expects payments to Vorarlberg.
State Governor Barbara Schöbi-Fink also called for federal support for Vorarlberg in connection with financial difficulties at Wien Energie. You see that the federal government cannot just let a company like Wien Energie die.
However, she is critical of the demand for an Austria-wide rescue package for energy suppliers. That would be of no use to Vorarlberg, because a different company policy had been pursued for years.
Money demanded for companies
But if there’s money from the federal government, she expects it to flow to Vorarlberg too – in the form of an economy bailout. The situation for industry and trade is difficult. The federal government should put together a package of measures for both small and medium-sized enterprises and the major industrial players.
Schöbi-Fink brings jobs into play
Schöbi-Fink did not explain exactly what this rescue package should look like. However, the federal government should consider not only relieving households, but also helping businesses. Because there would be a lot of jobs.
