Socialdemocrat Josef Cap furious about careless ministry of finance
The Socialdemocratic politican Josef Cap is unhappy about Austrias ministry of finance, which is occupied by the coalition partner of the Peoples Party. One article in the daily newspaper called “Österreich” illuminates the frame of mind of the legendary member from the Austrian Socialdemocratic Party.
Cap thinks that Austrias ministry of finance is full of abnegators. “One minister has started with the speculations, another one has continued, and the following one kept silent. The internal control has totally failed”, said Josef Cap.
Another thing which annoys the iron Socialdemocrat is the fact that his coalition partner does not fully answer parliamentary requests. Cap seems to be also quite angry about the statement of the former ÖBFA director Eder. He said that it was not clear how the money was invested. Cap: “It’s not possible not to know what I am buying. It’s not allowed to speculate with the tax payers money. There is a difference between base rate bank book and the Cayman Islands.
The background of the debate: Austrias ministry of finance lost a lot of tax money through risky speculations on the Cayman Islands.
