Vienna – Like the federal government and most federal states, Vienna, which is governed by red and pink, will suspend the valorization of politicians’ salaries for the year 2026. Mayor Michael Ludwig (SPÖ) announced this on Tuesday on the sidelines of the local council in conversation with media representatives. The measure is intended to be a “visible sign” that they want to make a contribution to budget consolidation. It will apply to everyone who holds a political mandate.
