Bang effect in Vienna: According to information from “Krone”, there is now an immediate cessation of funding for the Minibambini kindergarten network. Allegations of fake companies, expensive cars and incorrect billing have been substantiated and new suspicious cases have also surfaced.
More detailed information will follow shortly. But in the background: on Sunday there was still no question of a freeze on the club’s funding on the city side. When dealing with the kindergarten operator, Vienna behaves very confused. As reported, the Municipal Court of Audit accuses the association of embezzling taxpayers’ money on a large scale. The town hall therefore asked for a refund of the start-up funding. The repayment including interest of 129,616.44 euros has now been made, says a spokesman for Education Councilor Christoph Wiederkehr (NEOS) at the end of last week. On the other hand, Minibambini was still “fed” with a lot of money.
The millions are now over
Vienna subsidized the club with 15 million euros from 2019 to 2021. The opposition has been calling for a halt to funding for some time now. Denied return until a few hours ago because otherwise hundreds of children would not be taken care of. Due to new suspected cases, it did happen on Monday morning.
