Vienna – After Chancellor Christian Stocker (ÖVP) proposed holding a referendum on conscription, the coalition partner SPÖ now also has its own ideas for using this instrument: State Secretary Michaela Schmidt, who is also her party’s government coordinator, suggested, according to “Kurier”, that a vote be held on the introduction of an inheritance tax. A prompt no came from ÖVP Finance State Secretary Barbara Eibinger-Miedl.
