Karl Nehammer has been chancellor for two years. It was a turbulent time. There was major tax reform and a lot of money for many areas. But also the highest inflation and oops.
He started out as Mister 100 percent. Even despots or dictators hardly have that much approval from the party. Karl Nehammer has been Chancellor for exactly two years. A balance.
- On to the cold progression
Requested for decades, realized under Nehammer. Stupid for the Minister of Finance. He has less room to maneuver.
- Ecosocial tax reform
It also includes CO₂ pricing. In return there is a climate bonus, etc. The government praised the aid of 18 billion euros.
- Renewable Heat Act: important step towards phasing out fossil energy and moving away from oil and gas heating.
- Gear up: The army was ‘broken’ for a long time, now there are billions in subsidies and even long-range anti-aircraft defenses.
- Valorization of social benefits – more money for the poor and children. Increase in the nursing care allowance by 9.7 percent. In addition: 4.3 billion for childcare expansion.
Cash in condition “hot air”
Even though Austrians love their money, the push to enshrine it in the constitution was pure air, according to experts. In any case, Nehammer has filled a summer slump.
Outrage over citizen video
The secretly recorded piece about the chancellor’s part-time horse riding and hot food, including a reference to McDonald’s, caused lasting outrage.
The Chancellor recommended alcohol or psychotropic drugs. It was probably meant ironically, but it didn’t come across that way. Speaking of which, on another occasion he played Karl, the heavy drinker. Get a mug. But it consisted almost entirely of water.
Foreign policy oops and inflation
Visits to Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky and Russia’s Vladimir Putin elicited mild smiles at best
And speaking of inflation: Austria is the European champion. Inflation remains a major problem. Also in the election campaign.
