Brief Summary

The discussion revolves around the salaries and additional income sources of Austrian politicians, particularly members of the FPÖ (Freedom Party of Austria). It questions the justification for high earnings, especially when politicians hold additional jobs alongside their parliamentary duties. The conversation touches on the need for greater accountability and engagement from representatives, suggesting that they should be more involved in community work to better understand and represent the people they serve.

  • FPÖ members earning over €12,000 monthly sparks debate.
  • Politicians' additional jobs raise questions about commitment.
  • Calls for greater accountability and community engagement.

FPÖ Members' High Incomes

The discussion begins with the fact that seven members of the FPÖ in the National Council earn more than €12,000 a month. The group questions why the FPÖ earns so much, with some suggesting it might not be due to their performance. It's mentioned that these high earners often declare additional jobs alongside their parliamentary roles.

Comparison with Other Parties

The conversation shifts to comparing the FPÖ's high earners with those in other parties like the Neos and the Greens. While the Neos and Greens might have a higher percentage of high earners within their smaller parties, the FPÖ's stance as the "party of the little people" makes their high incomes seem contradictory. The discussion also acknowledges that other parties have engaged in similar practices, but the focus remains on the FPÖ's current situation.

Critique of Political Practices

The discussion criticizes the tendency of political parties to deflect attention by pointing fingers at each other's financial situations. The KPÖ (Communist Party of Austria) is mentioned as an example of a party that manages salaries differently, implying a more transparent approach. The core question raised is why all politicians don't earn the same amount collectively, suggesting a need for greater equality and transparency in political compensation.

Debate on Additional Income and Workload

The debate continues around the fact that many National Council members earn more because they work part-time jobs in addition to their parliamentary duties. The speaker suggests that if members of the National Council are taking on additional jobs, it means they are not fully dedicated to their roles as representatives. There is a call for a system change where all members are required to fully participate and dedicate their time to their parliamentary responsibilities.

Call for System Change and Community Engagement

The speaker advocates for a system change where all members of the National Council are fully engaged and dedicated to their roles. They suggest that representatives should be obliged to participate actively, ensuring that the people of Austria are truly represented. The idea of representatives participating in community work, such as cleaning up rubbish or helping asylum seekers, is proposed as a way to connect them with the people they represent and understand their needs better.

EU Parliament and Current Situation in Austria

The discussion briefly touches on the EU Parliament before returning to the situation in Austria. The speaker reiterates that the current state of affairs in Austria is unnecessary and calls for a system change where everyone works together. The importance of representatives being actively involved and doing something meaningful is emphasized, even if it's just making inquiries to ministries.

0:00 And you also have to say politically, right, when you say savings and the evil government now with pensioners' sports and so on, we have discussed it in general in Austria and we'll see and now of course it's coming to light. Yes, the FPÖ has seven members of the National Council who earn more than €12,000 a month. So, question to the group. Why do you think the FPÖ earns so much? I do n't know, because they have the voting customers . Well, I don't know. It wo n't be because of the performance. Theoretically, yes. That's why they earn over 12,000 € because they only take a bit of work from Parliament

0:46 . But none of the graphic designers say that. Once upon a time, politicians said rising prices were only in the newspaper, no wonder blah blah blah. As the KPÖ, we say that delegated salaries lead to higher politics. That is why we keep all our representatives. Yes, good. The Kö just does it differently, right? Yes. Yes, but the thing is that you write like that, yes. Well, that's the one who earns so much money, not so yes, they earn so much money because they state in this register that they still work a job alongside their job as a Nationalarus MP . Man, you have to say, man, you have to have a few thoughts about it. Firstly there is something like this: look, the SPÖ has, let's start with the Neos, the Neos have three and the Neos don't have

1:33 that many MPs. Yes, they have, so to speak, filled them in terms of percentages, the Neos and the Greens probably have the most in their own party who earn as much as the FÖ in percentage terms, right? Yes, but I don't want to defend the FÖ either . It does have a bit of an aftertaste when people say we are the party of the little people, so to speak, and then we earn 120, 120, 12,000 € a month, right? On the other hand, it's also the case that people say, well, others have been doing it this way for a year now and the FPÖ is now taking a closer look, right? Thank you very much, right? How much did the Greens earn last year? What

2:19 is it that the Greens came out at 6 p.m. What is it that the Greens have now legally canceled this fine of €100,000 ? Yes, I'll get there too. But my question is, and here and there you notice the distraction from the parties, that they write this back and forth. The Kö says, look how good we are, we're giving something away, and the other parties say, look, we have so little, the others have more, we're [ __ ] too, but the others have even more [ __ ]. That is what has been haunting us for the last few years in our politics in Austria. Yes, but I ask you, why do n't everyone earn the same amount collectively? J is screwing you all over. They all earn the same amount collectively, so that's a big step forward. I may be being cheeky here, but the salary of a national MP is fixed.

3:06 That's why I said they earn more because they work part-time , because they do something else on the side. Hackeln is a big word. Maybe they're just being bullied somewhere else or they have involvement somewhere else . What I find even more exciting is that Shellhorn has been pushed for the fact that he does some work on the side, because I don't think you're allowed to do that as a minister . Well, and of course you, as the FPÖ, one has to say, why does the FPÖ have the opportunity to earn so much money ? The s in the opposition. This means that they do not have to have one at every meeting of the Council of Ministers. You don't have to write the laws yourself, somehow, but they are there for you to agree with and disagree with. The FPÖ has the highest earning in the National Council, with 7

3:54 members earning more than €12,000 per month. For example as notaries, managers or lawyers. In total, 138 members have additional paid jobs in addition to their work in Parliament. The high incomes of the Greens and two ÖVB representatives are due to the fact that they received ministerial salaries until the autumn. Okay, I understand. Then there's it's collective, right? Then other people think it's cool that the green ones don't have anything. They simply have an expiring contract because the administration in Austria is so weak that you can't use up your vacation on the day you leave or do some kind of overtime or something like that. Yes, so A7432. Yes, all right. Okay, but then

4:41 tell me Gm I still think it's a joke, then they all earn the same amount. Yes, 12,000 € a month, some people earn that much . I think the MPs get a fixed collective salary of 10,730 a month. But honestly, just for sitting there, just for sitting there. Yes, I do n't mean me either, but we have to question the structures a little bit. Firstly, you sit in the National Council and then you come and then either we abolish the whole National Council, and I don't want that to sound anti-state, or we make sure that they have so much to do that they can't work as a lawyer on the side, that ca n't be the case. That's what I keep saying. I want all people who sit in this National Council to be

5:27 obliged to participate , because only then will the people of Austria be represented. Not anymore either. The FPÖ has to work together just like the Greens have to work together just like a working group or something or go and collect the rubbish or should the asylum seekers in Burgenland go and pick up the rubbish or shovel it out so that you get to know the people a bit . We would, I really think, as I said, do charitable work if there is enough time. I can't be a member of the National Council, but I'm also a lawyer. Well, that's why I'm saying why are there seven people who earn more than 12 ? Because they can maybe earn €3,4000 on the side somewhere, because they don't have to be there. Yes, that's what we can

6:15 talk about in this context about the EU Parliament, but what's happening in Austria is simply not necessary in my opinion. System change, everyone has to work together. Yes. Well, like the schoenfang, who is all there, who has nothing to do. Fits together, right? Yes. And a presentation next weekend, a presentation or just shoveling snow with the asylum seekers and for me it's not so much about them not doing anything, but rather about the fact that if they're in trouble, they have to do something, which of course is also the work of the opposition and the FPÖ has to be mentioned, they're doing a lot at the moment too. They make a lot of inquiries to ministries, right? That's work too, although with Herel he's not doing anything, where is

7:03 he? Yes. Yes. Yes. And they were worried because their father was sick. Exactly. Is. Oh, hello. We are the guys from Nullpunkt and you just watched a clip from our livestream.
