Unlike Chancellor Karl Nehammer (ÖVP), Finance Minister Magnus Brunner (ÖVP) does not want to talk about further cuts in heating costs. You have to let things like the price of electricity slow down and make the climate bonus work, he said in an interview with ATV Aktuell on Thursday.
By that he also meant the cost of living. “That’s what people are after now. That’s a lot of money, which is now visible in the account (…). We have to be careful not to overdo it,” said Brunner.
Criticism of the announcement of further aid has also come from economists of late. “If they now open Pandora’s box and then subsidize all other energy sources in a more or less cascade-like fashion, you will slowly slide into an energy-planned economy,” warned energy expert Michael Böheim of Wifo. He fears a “toxic cocktail of market intervention”.
English: “Population lags behind”
Federal director of SPÖ, Christian Deutsch, has little to do with Brunner’s statements. “The turquoise dispute between Brunner and Nehammer escalated on the open stage.” The population would be left behind.
