The tension is increasing. In three days, the fog around the budget. A total of 6.3 billion euros will be saved this year. In seven years, the government is planning to reduce development aid by 250 million euros.
It becomes exciting how the ministries have reached the saving goal of 1.1 billion euros. Which projects have been removed? Some figures are now trickling in the last sprint. The Ministry of Defense must set the red pencil well.
180 million were removed in defense
It increases 16.3 percent of the required 1.1 billion euros. According to the “Krone” information, 180 million euros are shortened by the army budget. Although the billions for the development plan, the new acquisition and modernization of important technologies have been made possible, the army and overtime are made possible for staff and overtime. The Minister of Defense Klaudia, Tanner, is said to be well irritated. It was so angry that the budget negotiations with Spö financial minister Markus Marterbauer were interrupted in the short term.
The austerity course will not have been easy for the Minister of Foreign Affairs Beate Meinl-Reisinger. The Pink Party Leader must implement cutbacks in development aid. The “Krone” learned from InsiderCirkels that in 2025 only ten million euros will be removed in development cooperation. But from 2026 the amount increases to 40 million euros per year. This course must be continued by 2031. As a result, this is 250 million for the next seven years. Since you want to prevent refugee flows from improving the circumstances in the home countries, there is no good news.
