To prevent budget crises such as the current in the future, the higher Austrian governor Thomas Stelzer calls for a debt for the federal government. The model for this is the state of Upper Austria, the only one who has such an instrument.
“Together we can be able to get the finances back in order. At the same time, we have to worry about how such excessive debt can be prevented in the future. Upper Austria was the first and so far only federal state in 2018 to introduce a debt brake and further developed into a culprit cover in the last years of the Crisis.
Upper Austria proud of low debt tariff
Upper Austria also treated very carefully tax money last year and was the only federal state that reached an excess of the Maast. This is also clear in the debt speed: with a debt percentage of 12.62 percent, Upper Austria is considerably among the other federal states. The average debt percentage of the Austrian federal states is around 50 percent.
Before 5 June 2025, the Ministry of Finance has now invited the future of the Stability Pact at the start of discussions with countries and communities. Stelzer is ready to talk, but deposits also claims: “With tasks there must also be enough money for countries and municipalities for care, health, childcare and education.”
Criticism of ÖBB -Snelkinspeling plans on secondary jobs
Stelzer is criticizing the ÖBB snelk coupling plans on branches. The ÖBB had recently announced in their framework plan to subject the regional trains Mühlkrek, Hausruck-und Altalbahn to an exam, it was conceivable for ÖBB a switch to bus connections. For Governor Stelzer, shaking the regional trains would be “the completely wrong signal”.
“In the upper Austria, the expansion of public transport is specifically forced. Now to question the railway lines that are of enormous importance for the commuters from the rural regions,” these efforts and is against any traffic policy reasons, “emphasizes the governor and the emphasis is added to the Governor and it is added:” It is added: “It is added:” It is added. Extensive attractive package for exactly the now affected railway lines.
Lighting and focal point for the regional city railway project
The Mühlkreisbahn of the Mühlviertel is in particular one of the most important traffic arteries in the capital of the state and an important pivot for the planned Regional Stadsweg. “Grundfalsch is to ask the Mühlkreisbahn.” Stelzer underlines. The State of Upper Austria bears at least 42.5 percent of the planned costs for the Regional Stadsspoorweg for an amount of 939 million euros.
