In addition, enabling a nursing apprenticeship and numerous reports from the state audit office are on the agenda.
After the large weapons finds in members of a motorcycle club and a former neo-Nazi group, the SPÖ and the Greens are jointly submitting an application to combat right-wing extremism. In addition to an annual report, support for dropouts and educational measures, a strict examination of the beneficiaries of subsidies, advertisements and orders is required in order to exclude cash flows and other support in the direction of the right-wing fringe.
LH Thomas Stelzer (ÖVP) had referred to the recent revision of the action plan against extremism at the state security council on Monday, which had met as a result of the weapon find, which is to be decided on Monday in the state government. It includes numerous new measures aimed primarily at prevention, media skills, education and information. It is also stated that the Office for the Protection of the Constitution is currently keeping an eye on those who are willing to use violence against the Corona measures, with conspiratorial meetings with neo-Nazis and the “New Right” giving cause for concern. In addition to the measures listed in the report, Stelzer advocates that certain biker badges – analogous to Nazi symbols – be banned, which would be a federal matter.
He will decide Parliament a change in the law that allows nursing apprenticeships from the age of 15. It is hoped that this will be a step against the shortage of staff in the industry. ÖVP and FPÖ are aiming for a resolution to the federal government in which a “mandatory and transparent labeling of origin of food” is called for, with which consumers can better distinguish between domestic and foreign products. The FPÖ also wants to know from Youth Protection Minister Michael Lindner (SPÖ) how many forced marriages there are among young women in Upper Austria.
The SPÖ club submits an emergency motion to “rescue the Kasberg”. It calls for the integration of the Almtal mountain railways into Upper Austria. cable car holding. The background is the threatening closure of the loss-making family ski area. In 2016, the state decided to cover the operation of the ski lifts until the 2025/26 season, but in return wants to see an overall tourism concept. However: A summer operation fails because of the landowners and a viable concept without summer operation hardly seems realistic. According to media reports on Thursday, bankruptcy is inevitable and closure is foreseeable.
The events surrounding clearing and the sale of the “Ehrenfeld II Viecht” commercial building area in Ohlsdorf (Gmunden district) will also be a topic. In a rough report, the Court of Auditors sharply criticized the clearing of almost 19 hectares of forest in 2021 for an area whose use is still unclear. The Greens want to know from the Minister for Agriculture Michaela Langer-Weninger (ÖVP), among other things, whether they believe the requirements for a clearing permit have been met, what the consequences are of the fact that the Court of Auditors does not see it that way, and where there are the replacement afforestations prescribed in the clearing notice .
The NEOS want answers from Energy Councilor Markus Achleitner (ÖVP) on how the country’s reserved attitude towards wind power – most recently, in view of the distance rules and because of bird protection, the environmental advocate had hardly seen any areas where wind turbines are possible – on the wind expansion plans of the Energie AG and would affect domestic value creation.
Finally, a series of Court of Auditors audit reports are on the agenda. State Audit Office Director Rudolf Hoscher will inform the MPs about the results of the follow-up review of property purchases in the municipality of Unterach am Attersee by the state, the promotion of public education institutions and the Corona vaccination strategy as well as the reviews of land use and nursing homes.
