“Today on the ORF program ‘Hohes Haus’, the chairwoman of the state pension provision commission, Christine Mayrhuber, was more than cautious about whether, in her opinion, the statutory retirement age should be raised. According to her, a new federal government must ensure the ‘financial sustainability of the pension system’. A higher retirement age is therefore not far away. If neoliberal NEOS also come into play in this ‘new federal government’, we will have ‘a social warning level red’ in Austria,” reacted the FPÖ club chairman and liberal social spokesperson NAbg today. Dr. Dagmar Belakowitsch.
The FPÖ’s clear no to raising the retirement age is of course still unbroken and upheld. We freedom people stand by our word and therefore by our older generation, a generation of high achievers and guarantors of our prosperity. “Our social system is not failing because of those people who have paid taxes, contributions and contributions all their lives, but because of the hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers for whom the ÖVP and the Greens are putting billions of tax money in their social hammock in order to give them a soft bed,” said Belakowitsch .
According to Belakowitsch, it is completely pointless to think about increasing the statutory retirement age if the actual retirement age is still years behind. “But there are also many pensioners who voluntarily want to work beyond the age of 65. However, incentives must be created to make this more financially attractive and to make the activity age-appropriate. Fundamentally, our country needs far-reaching reforms and a holistic rethinking,” emphasized Belakowitsch and continued: “But one thing should not be forgotten – the health and well-being of our population and pensioners must come first, not neoliberal exploitation and state greed for profit . Working until the age of 65 or 45 years of contributions is enough, which is why we, the Freedom Party, are once again calling for the introduction of the ‘hacker regulation’.”
The constant bashing of pensioners as part of the desocialization by the system parties must come to an end. “Our working population needs a predictable and hopeful future, not a social dystopia full of fear. In the course of the National Council election, Austria voted out the black-green ‘kleptocracy’ and waste of tax money. But how deep this swamp must be can be seen from the desperate clinging to the benefices – chair glue and climatic nuthatches are like one egg to another. Our country needs a ‘blue trend reversal’ more than ever!” says Belakowitsch.
