16.6 million euros are at stake: The conflict over old subsidies from the province of Styria is boiling over at an inopportune time for youth and family guesthouses. They are looking for a partner and want to reposition themselves. The pressure is mounting: "Politicians will have to think about something."

From the Benedictine monastery in Admont (extension to the Stiftgymnasium - 1,000,000 euros) to the Fürstenfeld tourism association (construction of an artificial ice rink - 36,336 euros) and the municipality of Tauplitz (lifts - 1,090,093 euros): In total, there are 136 applicants for subsidies who are said to owe the province of Styria around 60 million euros.
