Burgenland: Municipalities Should Be Structurally Relieved

The takeover of the waste association by the state holding, pushed by Doskozil, is now to be examined "in depth," according to a statement.

The situation of the municipalities is tense nationwide due to the ongoing recession and still high inflation. "We have agreed on a possible package of measures and a further roadmap in a constructive and factual atmosphere," said the governor after the meeting. The package discussed with the municipal representatives includes, on the one hand, the possible takeover of the waste association - which failed in the last legislative period due to the ÖVP - possible additional support for municipalities in personnel funding in the area of childcare, as well as further structural measures as outlined in the government program.

Burgenland Discusses Package of Measures

At the "summit," the participants agreed on a path for how the individual projects can be processed and implemented. Early next week, the mayors are to be informed by the respective municipal associations. If a fundamental agreement is reached at this level, there will be another round of negotiations on Thursday, April 3rd.
