“You let the ÖVP be pulled over the table”

“Now also for SPÖ social spokesman Muchitsch to write down: Who betrayed the pensioners? The Social Democrats. The fact is that the point for health insurance contributions in the Budget path reported according to Brussels was deliberately opened with regard to target group. Even if it is an excellist, who is powerful for reading, it would understand. The FPÖ cannot do anything to ensure that the SPÖ is up to the guest houses and can be ripped off by the falsehoods of the ÖVP. A small research would have been enough to understand the facts. If reading is too difficult, the comrades should only have listened to the repeated statements of the finance minister and the ÖVP who have confirmed this several times in parliament and the media that the target group was still open, so it was not still the pensioners, ”explained FPÖ general secretary NABG. Michael Schledlitz.

“We freedomly used the ÖVP massively for social justice in the government negotiations. Our plan was to set the lever with the immigrants instead of the pensioners. The fear among the Social Democrats of their clearing in the pensions has to be sitting deep. Even the executive president of the senior citizens’ council, Peter Kostelka, has described the planned KV contribution increases as’ anti-social ‘and made it clear that he will not agree to an increase. And that’s a good thing. In any case, we do not bear the fault for SPÖ decisions, but as soon as we are in the government, the pension cuts are reversed on the first day. With us, the pensioners have a strong partner, ”continued Schledlitz.

Finally, the FPÖ general secretary addressed a direct message to the SPÖ: “The SPÖ has never been as anti-social as it is today. Together with the pensioners, we will do everything we can to prevent the pension cuts. If it takes union -like combat measures, it should be that way. In addition to the current pensioners, the cuts also affect workers and employees who will retire in the future. Bruno Kreisky would turn around in the grave in view of the red betrayal of the pensioners and the top performers. ”
