The ÖVP’s balance sheet for the political year 2022 on Tuesday was used to settle accounts with the SPÖ state government under Hans Peter Doskozil. The governor is responsible for mismanagement and record debt in the country.
In a year of crises with war, inflation and migration, the population would expect answers and relief from politicians. Instead, the SPÖ government is piling up debts of 1.8 billion euros, ÖVP state party chairman Christian Sagartz criticized on Tuesday.
“It’s regarding state kitchens, state buses, state skiing, state flutes – it’s regarding prestige. And there are huge budget holes. Budget holes that not only dig deep into the wallets of future generations, but also clearly show that we cannot afford it in the future,” says Sagartz.
