Shortly before the end of the review period for the new Social Assistance Act, the Styrian state councillor Hannes Amesbauer (FPÖ) rejected the draft on Thursday with sharp criticism. He spoke of a "scheme binding" of the federal states, threatening additional costs in millions of euros and foreseeable restrictions on the relatively new Styrian Social Assistance model. Amesbauer wants to boycott another "information date" in Vienna.
