Minimum income costs in Vienna are rising, while the debt mountain continues to grow. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this form of social assistance? Two guest commentators describe their views. Viennese City Councilor for Social Affairs Peter Hacker (SPÖ) writes the pro: About the ÖVP Chancellor and his residents of Hamburg, less crime due to minimal security and immigration in the social system.
855 million euros! That is the amount planned for the minimum income alone in the Vienna budget for the coming year. In 2025 this will even be 965 million euros, ten million more. How long can Vienna continue to use this system in this way? The pro comes from Social councilor Peter Hacker, the con can be read on Sunday from Laura Sachslehner (ÖVP). Why these two? As a social councilor of the Social Democrats, Peter Hacker is also the social conscience of the city of Vienna. While state parliamentarian Laura Sachslehner of the ÖVP has been criticizing the social assistance system for years. Both are happy to participate in any discussion.
