"Now Listen to Us": NEOS with Kitchen Appliance on Vienna's Mariahilfer Street
The NEOS set up a stove on Mariahilfer Street in Vienna for International Women's Day under the motto "Now it's our turn" and distributed flyers against the "stove bonus," which exists in some cases and was also a topic in the ultimately failed blue-black government negotiations. The stove bonus is a "symbol" suggesting that a woman's place is at home, instead of being financially independent from the state and her partner, explained NEOS women's spokesperson Henrike Brandstötter. Additionally, a stove bonus is also a "major barrier to integration," as women are pressured to stay at home instead of going to work, and the children do not attend kindergarten and do not learn German.
