Neos and SPÖ invite Reinhold Mitterlehner
The issue of controversial positions and donations during Turquoise Blue’s reign remains. Neos and SPÖ have announced that they will also invite former ÖVP Vice Chancellor Reinhold Mitterlehner to provide information. “In his book, he reports on the sponsorship rallies that Sebastian Kurz is said to have held in 2016. We want to know what Mitterlehner still knows about it,” said SPÖ parliamentary group leader Jan Krainer. A smart move by the SPÖ and Neos, because Mitterlehner’s “Keeping” book was mostly an agreement with Sebastian Kurz and the Turks.
On Wednesday, the former chairman of the Asfinag supervisory board, Peter Franzmayr, and the member of the ÖBB supervisory board, Teresa Pagitz, are invited. As a third party providing information, the former federal director general of the SPÖ, Thomas Drozda, will answer the questions of the deputies. It was recently announced that he had been offered the Ibiza video in 2017. “It was offered for six million euros,” Jan Krainer said. Drozda was also on the nominating committee for Öbib, which later became the state holding company Öbag.
The next day, the committee does not start until around 12:30 pm due to the previous extraordinary session of the National Council. Kathrin Glock, wife of the arms manufacturer of the same name, would have been invited for Thursday. She already canceled due to the pandemic. “We will go to Federal Administrative Court. Because if you look at Ms. Glock’s Instagram account, you are very on the go and not self-selected quarantine because of her husband, who is seriously ill,” Krainer said. Therefore, the agenda includes interviews with Öbag supervisory board member Susanne Höllinger and Andritz chairman Wolfgang Leitner.
