NEOS have a “mission to end the standstill”
"We have a clear mission: to end the standstill", said NEOS Secretary General Douglas Hoyos on Tuesday. Accordingly, the election manifesto is entitled "Reforms for your new Austria". The focus is on pensions and education (see video above).
The party is proposing a "new model" for pensions. "People should decide for themselves when they retire," explained Hoyos. Those who work longer will receive more money. There should also be a pension account with tax-free income of up to 3,000 euros per year.
In the education sector, the NEOS are calling for 20,000 additional teachers. There should be a "full-time bonus" of 1,200 euros per year to motivate teachers to work more. In addition, working conditions in schools are to be improved.
"Being able to build something"
Further demands: Reduce taxes, bring more transparency to politics, the next generations should "be able to build something". The aim is to create "confidence and trust" among the population. A "courageous government that leads the way" is needed, said Hoyos. "We are the force for reform."
NEOS leader Beate Meinl-Reisinger was not present at the presentation of the election program in Vienna. She was on her way to the European Forum Alpbach, it was said.
