Chancellor Christian Stocker (ÖVP) and his “Government of the Middle” also want to approach voters from the opposition parties and speaks for a “new collaboration” in his government statement. Moreover, the financing of the second mandatory kindergarten year is “secured”.
“Different perspectives and perspectives are not weakness, but on the contrary, the power that our liberal, pluralistic democracy is,” the Chancellor praised the benefits of the first triple coalition on Thursday. Together with his coalition partners of the Spö and the Neos – in the person of Vice Chancellor Andreas Babler (Spö) and State Secretary Josef Schellhorn (Neos) – he again evokes the “good Austrian tradition” of the compromise.
Financing of the second mandatory kindergarten year “secured”
When he presented the focus of the government program, Stocker assured the members of the State Chamber that the financing of the planned second mandatory kindergarten year was “secured”. Minister of Education Christoph Return (Neos) recently announced that this must be anchored in the next federal state agreement for the kindergartens.
It would be possible to start the mandatory kindergarten year for four -year -olds at the earliest. According to the government program, all additional funds and measures are actually under the general budget reservation from 2027.
Vice -Chancellor Babler praises the government program
Vice Chancellor Andreas Babler (Spö) promised that the government would appreciate the parliament and also include the opposition parties. He praises the government program as “Printed Austrian virtue, a large compromise of constructive forces”.
State Secretary Josef Schellhorn (Neos), who represented the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Beate Meinl Reisinger because of her Ukraine trip, emphasized that it would not be easy in the coming years. This “honesty in combination with the right thrust optimism” would have earned people. The State Secretary for Deregulation is convinced that it is possible to relieve people through the deskucratisation.
