“Those who work must not be stupid: the end of Vienna’s social welfare paradise! It is unbearable when, at the end of the day, there are fewer refugees than recently arrived workers who have not paid one euro into our social system for one day. Earning 5,000 euros net or more without working one day is simply grotesque and should be stopped today rather than tomorrow. Anyone who defends a system that gives welfare recipients more money than those who work undermines people’s trust in the welfare state. This playing with fire must end immediately!” said the chairman of the People’s Party in the National Council, August Wöginger, about the reports on social benefits in Vienna.
That is why, as specified in our Austrian Chancellor’s plan, we are only allowed to grant full social benefits from the fifth year of residence in Austria. It cannot be that our good social network makes us a target for those who are mainly looking for a good social system instead of good job opportunities. We need new workers, not long-term social welfare recipients,” concluded Wöginger.
