The federal government transferred 4.6 million euros to the 132 Carinthian municipalities for a vaccination campaign. In many communities, however, the money would be needed for more urgent projects.
As early as March, the federal government transferred 4.6 million euros to the 132 Carinthian municipalities for a vaccination campaign in the autumn. Villach has handed over his share to clubs that should encourage people to vaccinate with posters. Companies are also involved in Klagenfurt.
Tax money can be invested in vaccination fleets
But in many other communities, the money would rather be invested differently. Günther Vallant is chairman of the Association of Municipalities and Mayor in Frantschach: “We have received 20,000 euros. They are invested in a mailing or vaccination fleet.”
Money back to the federal government?
Other communities are already considering returning the money to the federal government. Because the rules are pretty strict and would overwhelm some. For example, a company must be able to show at least 100 customers per week to be entitled to the money. What particularly annoys Valant: It is not intended to be used for other projects. “Against the backdrop of inflation, many would urgently need an extra cash injection.”
