The debate over Vienna's social aid system has intensified, with the ÖVP issuing an ultimatum to Social Councillor Peter Hacker.
The controversy centers around a Syrian family receiving €4,600 monthly, sparking claims of unfairness.
The ÖVP demands reforms, including aligning Vienna's aid with other regions and introducing a five-year waiting period for immigrants.
They threaten a no-confidence motion against Hacker if changes aren't made by September 18. Meanwhile, the SPÖ defends the current system, arguing that it ensures equal opportunities for all children.
The political clash highlights broader tensions over social justice and resource allocation in Austria.
