Hardship within hardship – “The last social safety net is failing”

Date:

Criticism of the city of Linz in its dealings with welfare recipients continues unabated, with social associations in particular criticizing the unnecessarily strict interpretation of the laws. While the ÖVP wants answers from SPÖ Deputy Mayor Karin Hörzing, more and more affected people are contacting the “Krone”.

“I’ve had bad years. Now my daughter no longer talks to me – and only because she is demanding money from me through the court.” Mrs. G. is desperate. After a long, violent marriage, she found the strength to separate. However, she lost her house, her job and now also her daughter (31). Her adult representative demands alimony from Mrs. G. and even wants to go to court.

City requirements
The city of Linz demands this so that her daughter does not have to pay social assistance. “I’m just getting back on my feet and I’m completely overwhelmed when I also have to take care of my daughter,” the woman says desperately. According to reports in the “Krone”, more and more people are reporting problems because of the city’s hard line. Mr E. is also one of them.
