There should be no new taxes under Chancellor Kickl and his blue-black government. To this end, an austerity package has now been agreed during the coalition negotiations to restore the ailing domestic budget. We have summarized for you what “Krone” readers think of the savings.
6.3 billion euros must be saved in the coming years, the FPÖ and ÖVP negotiators agreed during the coalition negotiations. An agreement was reached within just three days, also to avoid an EU deficit procedure. To achieve this amount, the red pencil must of course be drawn. This mainly concerns cuts in funding (3.2 billion) or educational leave.
Savings are also made on the climate bonus. This will expire without replacement and is expected to amount to a total of 2.3 billion euros. An additional billion will be added to the savings at the ministries, the remaining balance will be absorbed by cuts in climate subsidies and educational leave.
The promise was no new taxes
Many readers show little understanding for the continued existence of the carbon tax. How, after this has been “absorbed” by the climate bonus? KroneLeser2235058 writes that many are disappointed because during the FPÖ election campaign there was often communication about a possible end to this tax. Adjusting existing taxes also bothers some readers WerWeissWasangry.
Savings can only be made on the expenditure side
Many readers show understanding for the government’s general plan to save money and return the national budget to safer times. It is accepted that sometimes this “hurts” or whatever Yessica as it says: “Has there ever been an austerity package that voters were happy with?”
Let’s make them work
For some readers, the time to complain about the government’s possible plans is simply too early. ‘Let them do it’ is something you read quite often, as is the reference to people whose opinions you ‘can’t change anyway’ love me100 writes. Others also point out that you don’t necessarily have to be friends to work together.
What is your opinion on the austerity plans presented by the possible FPÖ/ÖVP government? How will these savings impact your daily routine and life? In which areas do you prefer to save and where do you prefer not to save? We are curious about your ideas and look forward to further responses!
