“Schaeffler factory closure is further evidence of the federal government’s catastrophic economic policy!”

One day after KTM’s bankruptcy, the next blow to the Austrian business location comes – Schaeffler is closing its factory in Berndorf (Baden district). “Not a day goes by without bad economic news. The plant closure costs 450 employees their jobs. The company’s justification is a fatal reckoning with the economic policy of the black-green federal government,” says Freedom Economics Spokesman LABg. Michael Sommer, commenting on the Schaeffler plant closure.

For years, the Freedom Party has been warning about the completely undesirable development in the economic sector. “Instead of relieving employees and employers, the most anti-business federal government of all time has only burdened Austria’s companies with the gravedigger Gewessler, keyword CO2 – punitive tax, keyword supply chain law, keyword renaturation. The plant closure is 100 percent the responsibility of the worst federal government of all time,” the FPNÖ economic spokesman criticizes the outgoing federal government.

“The Marxist, anti-business ideas of the Babler-SPÖ are only leading our economy further into the abyss. There needs to be a 180-degree turnaround in economic policy and not a red continuation of Gewessler’s eco-Marxist economic destruction,” Sommer calls for an immediate stop to government negotiations with the SPÖ, which is hostile to the location.
