“For a rental contract, the migrants have to disclose their income, which is why we have these numbers in black and white: A Syrian receives 2,361 social benefits with his wife and two children in Vienna. Net. That’s not normal,” said Vienna’s ÖVP leader Karl Mahrer on Thursday evening during his speech at the New Year’s reception in the Aula der Wissenschaften. And the party chairman added: “The migrant also has his main residence in Dubai!”
In order for an Austrian father to earn a monthly salary of 2361 euros net, he must have around 3500 euros gross on his salary slip. According to the Main Association of Social Insurance Institutions, the average gross income in our country is 2,640 euros.
With his combative speech, which was well received by the hundreds of party friends present, Karl Mahrer made it clear that the ruling SPÖ can expect a new ÖVP in Vienna: the policy of appeasement is likely to be over, the Viennese ÖVP is showing rough edges again and is self-confident again. And Mahrer clearly defines the role of the ÖVP in Vienna: “We are the voice of reason, the loud voice of the silent majority.”
That is why the ÖVP will also take a stand against everything that “meanwhile seems normal” in Vienna, Mahrer emphasized several times: for example against the oversized social benefits for immigrants, but also against the “gender and woke madness” that “does not help Vienna ‘ said Maher. And the Viennese ÖVP boss also said clearly: “Is it normal that a mayor has to give twice 700 million euros in tax money to our energy supplier, who then still has to be saved by the federal government 24 hours before bankruptcy? No, thats not normal.”
