The top judges must now decide “if possible” within four weeks whether the judiciary should transmit the video and the transcript without blackening. They have the opportunity to do so in their session starting on November 23.
The SPÖ and NEOS had already addressed the Constitutional Court in the spring, because the ÖVP and the Greens wanted to narrow down the subject of the investigation. The Constitutional Court approved the two opposition parties at that time and the Ibiza Committee was able to start without restrictions. At that time, the decision was made public in time after four weeks and four days.
In their current request, the SPÖ and NEOS, supported by the FPÖ and the Greens, ask the highest judges to determine that Justice Minister Alma Zadic (Greens) “has to present the image and sound material of the ‘video of Ibiza ‘and associated transcripts uncovered (not blackened) “. The Federal Criminal Police confiscated the entire length of the video. However, the Public Ministry only took those parts of the video for the record and subsequently handed them over to the commission that the Prosecutor’s Office considered relevant for its investigations. The committee, which does not examine criminal law issues but rather political responsibility, now wants to receive an “unredeemed” version.
The complaint to the Constitutional Court did not support the ÖVP, although the People’s Party had lobbied especially vehemently for the entire video to be published. The leader of the parliamentary group Wolfgang Gerstl justified it in a broadcast on Thursday saying that he trusted the legally compliant file presented by Justice Minister Alma Zadic (Greens). But it is the right of the minority to challenge this before the constitutional court.
In another case, the ÖVP turned to the highest judges. This is the summons of the leader of the FPÖ parliamentary group, Christian Hafenecker, as an informant in the committee. The highest judges must clarify if there is a connection with the subject of the investigation that is doubted by the other parties. As Gerstl announced on Thursday, SPÖ and NEOS have started the upload themselves. Gerstl criticizes a “zig-zag-zag course” of red and pink. However, the ÖVP assumes that the highest judges will continue to process your complaint.
