Important politicians get more money soon. In 2027 their pay rises by 1 percent. The parties OVP, SPO and NEOS suggest this. The pay should rise more. The reason is inflation. Inflation means: Things get more expensive.
Politicians take less money now. They help the country save money. This is called Budget-Konsolidierung. In the last 3 years there was no raise. This is called Null-Lohn-Runde. So the money is worth less now.
Many people get the raise. The President gets 1 percent more. The Chancellor and ministers get 1 percent more. Members of the National-Rat also get more. The Volks-Anwaltschaft gets a small raise too. Party funds do not grow for 2 years.
