While the population has to break the belt closer, the government lives on a large foot. The greens accuse the team of three. After the debates about the thick service cars of the government and the inflated ministerial cabinets with a maximum of 40 employees, new figures about “shadow ministers” and the costs of the consultant are now available.
Current investigations of De Groenen show that a general secretary – often also called the “Shadow Minister” – was installed in nine of the 13 ministries.
It is also particularly strange that 1.75 million euros was spent on external orders and advisory services in the period from 3 to 31 March – ie in just 28 days. Among them are dozens of media training, such as the “Preparation of the Vice Chancellor for the Pressuur” for 6000 euros. Vice Chancellor Andreas Babler came under pressure in an interview with the “ZIB2” and could not give a conclusive answer to these costs.
“The government calls on the population to save while it does an oversized administration device – this is deeply contradictory,” Alma Zadić, deputy club chairman of De Groenen. Despite public promises to close the administration and make it more efficient, the reality develops exactly in the opposite direction. “The conversation of the committee is pure rhetoric – practice shows a completely different picture.”
The Greens demand a reconsideration: “Especially in challenging times, the government must be a good example.
