AustriaA recent survey commissioned by Der Standard reveals widespread skepticism among Austrians regarding the new budget proposed by Finance Minister Markus Marterbauer (SPÖ). Only 24% of respondents believe the budget will put Austria back on the 'right track,' while two-thirds emphasize the need for spending cuts within political parties. The survey highlights significant criticism from FPÖ supporters, with 90% believing the budget will not lead to economic recovery. Younger people and supporters of the governing parties (ÖVP, SPÖ, Neos) tend to be more optimistic. Over half of respondents fear personal financial burdens from the budget, particularly among SPÖ and Green supporters. Many also argue that the wealthy are not adequately contributing, and nearly 60% believe the budget will cause personal hardship. Additionally, almost half of respondents support pension system reforms.
