Snijeg zadaje probleme u Austriji, blokirane prve ceste
U nedjelju su prve ceste u zapadnoj Austriji morale biti zatvorene zbog obilnih snježnih padalina. Pogođena je i autocesta Brenner.
Početak zime u nedjelju će u dijelovima zemlje izazvati prometni kaos. U poslijepodnevnim satima, zbog obilnih snježnih padalina, nekoliko ulica u Tirolu i Salzburgu moralo je biti zatvoreno zbog radova čišćenja, javlja ÖAMTC. Između ostalog, zahvaćena je i brennerska autocesta (A13) u smjeru Brennera.
Zbog otežanih uvjeta za vožnju trenutno su zastoji i zastoji ispred snježnih branika na još nekoliko pravaca. Trenutno je u dvije savezne države nametnuto oko 15 zahtjeva za lance za snijeg.
No, blagdanski promet pred božićne blagdane ne miruje ni u nedjelju. Prema ÖAMTC-u, morate čekati sat i pol više na Tauernautobahnu (A10) zbog gradilišta tunela između Gollinga i Wwerfena.
U većem dijelu dana očekuju se obilne snježne padaline. Najviša razina upozorenja, ljubičasta, vrijedi oko Arlberga i Ausserferna. Kako izvješćuje Državni centar za upozorenja Vorarlberga, u nekim regijama može pasti i do jedan metar snijega.
Na temelju trenutne vremenske prognoze, očekuje se da će stupanj upozorenja na lavine biti podignut na stupanj 4 kasnije danas. “Jak vjetar dodatno pogoršava situaciju jer može uzrokovati nanose”, upozoravaju vlasti.

U napadu su ubijene najmanje 2 osobe, a 70 ih je ranjeno, od čega 15 teško.
Vozač je odmah uhićen, a Welt je objavio da se radi o liječniku iz Saudijske Arabije koji vlastima nije od ranije poznat kao islamist. Policija je objavila da je vozio 400 metara od udara u ljude na sajmu.
Vlasti napad istražuju kao terorizam. Magdeburg, koji se nalazi zapadno od Berlina, glavni je grad pokrajine Saske-Anhalt i ima oko 240.000 stanovnika.

Velika bečka građevinska tvrtka pred stečajem
Sljedeći stečaj u građevinarstvu. Kako KSV 1870 objavljuje, nad SÜBA Bau AG je pokrenut stečajni postupak.
KSV1870 objavljuje da je u petak otvoren stečajni postupak nad imovinom SÜBA Bau und Projekterfassungs GmbH sa sjedištem u Beču.
Dužnik je podružnica SÜBA AG. Grupa SÜBA pruža usluge u području planiranja, izgradnje i prodaje stambenih i poslovnih nekretnina kao iu razvoju četvrti. SÜBA Bau und Projekterehrungs GmbH nadzire i koordinira građevinske projekte SÜBA AG.
Ovim razvojem događaja pogođeno je 14 zaposlenika i oko 110 vjerovnika. SÜBA GmbH preuzima ukupne obveze od oko 29,7 milijuna eura, iako će tu vrijednost još morati provjeriti imenovani stečajni upravitelj. Kako doznaje KSV1870, trenutni tržišni uvjeti (visoke kamatne stope, inflacija, promijenjeno ponašanje ulaganja) u industriji nekretnina, kao i neočekivana ili iznenađujuća otkazivanja transakcija, učinili su nužnim podnošenje zahtjeva.
“Stečajni upravitelj sada će morati provjeriti je li moguće nastaviti s poslovanjem tvrtke, inače će se tvrtka morati zatvoriti i likvidirati”, kaže Alexander Greifeneder iz KSV1870.
Izvještajni i revizijski sastanak održat će se 25. veljače 2025. na Trgovačkom sudu u Beču. Pogođeni vjerovnici svoja potraživanja mogu prijaviti do 11. veljače 2025. godine.
