Your – quite a few – critics can probably breathe a sigh of relief: With Green Climate and Energy Minister Leonor Gavesler now facing a job change, the loss of income isn’t too hard for the controversial politician. News platform oe24 is currently reporting that the minister is now set to head into the EU election campaign as the Greens’ top candidate.
With a current gross monthly salary of 18,111.90 euros as a federal minister, Gavesler will have to limit herself somewhat as a member of the EU Parliament – in Brussels she would earn around 8,000 euros gross, but due to tax relief this Will be approximately 7,000 euros net, plus expenses and daily allowances.
What it means now for Austrian voters. You will only have to endure the green climate minister’s ideas and projects for a few more months – the EU elections across Europe will begin on June 6 and end on Sunday, June 9, 2024.
However, taxpayers are still burdened by two particularly controversial projects of Leonor Gewessler’s ministry: Many citizens are angered by the completely arbitrary drawing of boundaries when it comes to paying the climate bonus – in Vienna. , residents of the 17th district (Hernels) will now receive 40 euros less from September than those in the 18th district (Währing), although they are separated by only eight meters of road. Gavesler rejects criticism of arbitrary regulation – she allows payments to continue despite restrictive regulations.
And with a further increase in the CO2 tax from January 1, 2024, Gewesler is once again predicting a rise in inflation that will place an additional burden on all Austrians: Despite all warnings, the minister wanted to maintain that every liter of fuel As a result of this arbitrary action the cost of ten cents becomes more expensive. Of course, all shipping companies, grocery chains, merchants, etc. will pass on their additional costs to end consumers. And that too with the current currency devaluation of 7.5%.
Many mainstream media remained silent about even the strangest thoughts and actions of this minister – the appalling spending of taxpayers’ money on a Green politician and the self-promotion of his ministry in old paper dailies may have played a definite role in this.
