The government was the “essentially” agreed on the budget for 2025 and 2026, as State Secretary Alexander Pröll (ÖVP) said Thursday afternoon. Details will not be revealed until the budget speech next Tuesday.
“We set up the 6.4 billion,” added the SP rule coordinator Michaela Schmidt (Spö). Pröll and Schmidt with Neos -Minister of Foreign Affairs Josef Schellhorn agreed that the budget creation was a difficult project with a view to the starting point, but that was treated with confidence.
The legacy was “incredibly heavy,” Schellhorn explained. Schmidt remembered that the size of the deficiency could not yet be foreseen, not even when the government agreed.
Four basic principles
Pröll mentioned four basic principles that were held in mind during budget creation, the “largest package of the past decades”. On the one hand, it deals with “performance instead of overgrowth”, then an “fair renovation”, an attempt to invest in the future of the country and reforms in structure and administration.
Salary Plus still open to civil servants
Pröll emphasized that this year the public administration will contribute to the renovation of the household with 1.1 billion and 1.3 billion in the coming year. It remained unclear whether the patched increase in inflation could be peppered with the officials. As for the workforce, it was said that there are no more places.
Pröll also confessed that in the past some things were probably too generous and cited as examples of Klimabonus and educational leave. The former measure alone brings two billion.
“Find the Jungle financing”
Schellhorn was convinced that the administrative reform would also take place. The chairman of the Wilfried Haslauer (ÖVP) and the Municipal Association Baas Johannes Presl (ÖVP) confirmed the reform confirmed: “There was a lot of confidence.” Immediately after the budget, the “Crying of the Financing Jungle” must be tackled: “Here we have to touch a machete here.”
Schmidt: everyone has to make a fairly proportional
It was essential for Schmidt that the steps on income -share steps were also taken: “Our care was that everyone did a reasonable share,” the State Secretary referred to the special tax for energy companies and bank tax.
