Austria federal government overturns promised hacker regulation

The ÖVP announces that it will withdraw the hackers regulation that was decided before the election. The Greens are also in favor of this. Only since January has the Hackler regulation, an early retirement without deductions been possible again. Now it should be over again. This unjust system will now be repaired with the necessary transition periods", said the turquoise vice club boss Gaby Schwarz on Wednesday. According to the ÖVP, this should be decided in November - with the pension increase for 2021.

The Green Vice Chancellor Werner Kogler said, a regulation only for men something is reluctant in me. Because in practice only men should benefit from the hacker's regulation because of their higher standard retirement age. Nevertheless a reform is basically possible on the part of the Greens, but not yet agreed they want to wait for the report of the Old Age Insurance Commission first. The ÖVP is also likely to link the unemployment subsidy announced by the Greens to the pension reform.

The deputy. SPÖ club boss Jörg Leichtfried said, Criticism of the planned out of the hacking regulation comes from the opposition. The link between the hacking regulation and unemployment allowance is cynical and socially cold. The FPÖ locates an attack on all service providers in the midst of the worst labor market and economic crisis since the Second World War.

The Austrian Federation of Trade Unions also sees a serious betrayal of all those who have worked for 45 years and paid into the pension system. The ÖVP shows its true colors. Fate is being played with here, criticizes the ÖGB and announces that it will continue to fight for the hacker regulation. Shortly before the National Council election in 2019, the ÖVP had only reluctantly and against the votes of the Neos approved the new hackers' regulation because otherwise it would also have had to vote against the pension increase that was also agreed.
