LINZ. One “failed economic policy” and “ideology-driven approaches to climate policy” denounced Upper Austria’s deputy governor Manfred Haimbuchner (FP) at a press conference in Linz on Friday. He directed his criticism against the federal government made up of the VP and the Greens and against the EU.
Rising CO2 pricing is endangering the competitiveness of industry and making it more difficult to build affordable housing. Cement companies threatened to move away. The sanctions against Russia are strategyless and ineffective. “This does not mean that we are on the side of the Russians”said Haimbuchner.
He mentioned OMV’s exit from the supply contracts with Gazprom, which was planned by Energy Minister Leonore Gewessler (Greens). “irresponsible”. The gas cannot simply be replaced and, according to him, the Russians have always fulfilled the contracts.
According to OMV, things were somewhat different recently. In February 2023 it said: “We don’t get what is contractually agreed.” Haimbuchner said: The question is whether someone turned on the gas tap or whether it was a transit problem.
He also called on the government to promote CO2 storage and transport of CO2 via pipelines to Norway.
