Kickl to Brunner’s statement: “The black finance minister has absolutely no feeling for the people!”

Vienna (OTS) – “The black-green government bears full responsibility for the continuous decline in Austria’s economy and is nevertheless undeterred driving our economy, our prosperity and social security against the wall.” With these words, FPÖ federal party chairman Klubobmann commented today NAbg. Herbert Kickl the current Wifo/IHS economic forecast. “The ÖVP and the Greens completely missed the time to intervene in good time, including the urgently needed counter-steering. The price for this is not only paid by the economy, which is not getting going, but also by the local population, who are suffering more and more every day from the homemade inflation,” continued Kickl, who also sees the FPÖ as the only stable force on this issue . The Freedom Party’s proposals to stop the avalanche of costs have been on the table for a year and a half.

“The fact that inflation in Austria is currently so high and will remain so high is at the expense of the growth power of Austria’s economy. However, Switzerland shows us very clearly how things could be done differently – inflation there is just 2.2 percent. This blatant failure of the ÖVP and the Greens will not only fuel inflation this year, but also in the years that follow, because inflation will also be dragged along in the years that follow,” explained the FPÖ federal party chairman.

“In addition to the countless private households who can hardly afford the high prices, this negligent and irresponsible black-green policy also endangers the Austrian economy and its competitiveness. Inflation can only be combated effectively if it is really tackled at its roots. It is the black-red-green-pink unity party that refuses to fight the real causes. Therefore, a price brake is needed, as well as comprehensive tax cuts on staple foods, energy and fuel, and an immediate end to the nonsensical sanctions against Russia. The Austrian population, suffering from inflation, now needs real relief as soon as possible. It must not be allowed that Austria’s economy, our prosperity and thus social security is destroyed in a short time by these incompetent and irresponsible politicians of the red-black-green-pink unity party,” said FPÖ federal party chairman NAbg. Herbert Kickl.

In this context, the FPÖ federal party chairman also criticized ÖVP Finance Minister Brunner, “who blames the high wage agreements for the fact that domestic inflation is above the EU average.” “Such a statement is not only incorrect in terms of content, but also cold-hearted and shows the true face of this anti-social ÖVP policy. The black finance minister has absolutely no feeling for the people who double and triple every euro every month and still don’t know how they can afford their lives. Responsible for the high inflation in Austria is solely the current government policy with, among other things, the Corona regime, the Russia sanctions, but also the failed monetary policy of the European Central Bank in recent years – Brunner should finally write that in his political family book.” , like that
