The green-oriented climate and energy policy of the federal government could not be more absurd – one hand gives to the other: while from 1 September, climate bonus amounts of 110 to 220 euros are distributed (again also to migrants and prisoners) Austrian car owners should prepare for even higher fuel prices from January 1, 2024 – due to the next phase of the CO2 tax, this additional burden could amount to up to 252 euros per year per person. So: 110 Euros were received in the fall, 252 Euros were then withdrawn from January.
Green Energy Minister Leonor Gaevsler and her party leader Werner Kögler call climate policy insane.
ARBÖ spokesman Sebastian Obrecht confirmed to the free newspaper TODAY: “Due to CO2 pricing from January 1, 2024, fuel will increase by about 10 cents.” This means that filling each tank (70 litres) becomes seven euros more expensive in one go.
With the CO2 tax, inflation would again kick in: Companies – such as large grocery chains – would then pass on even higher transportation costs to all customers. This makes not only fuel, but food, but all the services of craft businesses more expensive. So in 138 days, the federal government will ensure on its own that inflation becomes an even greater burden on all of us.
If the additional costs add up to 252 Euros over twelve months with three tank fillings per month (168 Euros with only two tank stops per month), then getting a climate bonus of 110 to 220 Euros is simply seen as a bad joke. could be: the same green minister, who will cap fuel prices even more brutally from January 1, is distributing climate handouts to everyone – including people who don’t own cars or are citizens but Only in the country for more than six months.
As eXXpress reports, it is also completely unclear whether the as-yet-uncovered glitches in the climate bonus payment round, which will start in 14 days, will be fixed: it remains exciting whether Leonor Gaesler The ministry of will again transfer the money to the dead, and even the survivors have no chance to transfer this tax amount back.
Mass protests were also caused by the fact that every migrant, even if he has already been fully cared for in federal care, will receive a climate bonus – he only needs to be registered in Austria for 183 days. Gaesler hasn’t made any changes to this rule yet.
