Burgenland as a reminder: nationalization, debts and a bloated civil service

Vienna (OTS) – “Hans Peter Doskozil did it. Through scheming and bullying away the first woman at the head of the SPÖ, the highest Burgenlander was able to rise to the top of the SPÖ’s new frontman at the party conference. A style that breaks a new negative record in the 2nd Republic,” said WB General Secretary Abg.z. No Kurt Egger.

From the socialist test laboratory in Burgenland to Vienna – nationalization plans unsettle the economy

In the socialist test laboratory in Burgenland, Doskozil showed what could be in store for Austria: with several state companies, the civil service was bloated and loyal companions of the state governor were appointed managing directors. In the last 6 years alone, Doskozil has employed 700 additional state civil servants (+37%), who are now being cared for in the 60 state subsidiaries.

The “Group Burgenland” has built up financial debts including interest by 2.17 billion euros. As the Court of Auditors determined, the state-owned cleaning company was sold at a bargain price to former employees of former state governor Niessl. Burgenland socialism at federal level would pose a serious threat to the business location. Private companies are pushed to the edge of their existence by state companies at taxpayer expense. Fair competition and the social market economy have been abolished under Doskozil’s reign,” Egger warned.
