FPÖ under pressure: Interior Ministry control or election campaign?

The Freedom of Austria (FPÖ) plans to undergo the Interior Ministry of a thorough investigation. As vienna.at , numerous irregularities have been determined in the Interior Ministry that the FPÖ would like to uncover. The FPÖ's National Council Club speaks of a "deep black state" that is to be examined more precisely. The internal decision -making process, which aspects are specifically examined, is almost complete.

The focus is particularly on the possibility that the committee of inquiry could also deal with the cause of the late Justice Section Director Christian Pilnacek. At the same time, the FPÖ should also have a strong interest in the processing of the corona measures of the past federal government.

contradictory positions for the corona examination

ots.at confirms that no U-committee Corona theme is set up. This decision has already caused sharp criticism from the MFG, the "brave citizens' movement".

The MFG accuses the FPÖ to provide political considerations about the necessary education and justice. MP Manuel Krautgartner (MFG-OÖ) emphasizes that the FPÖ had appeared as a recovery party in the election campaign, but now breaks its own promises. Joachim Aigner, also from the MFG, emphasizes that the comprehensive powers of a U-committee could make a significant contribution to clarification, while a commission could not act sufficiently without such a means.

also Dagmar Häusler (MfG-Austria) criticizes the FPÖ's withdrawal, which she interprets as a fear of possible government negotiations. The MFG calls for transparency and assumption of responsibility for the decisions during corona pandemic, whereby it primarily accuses the ÖVP of benefiting from the crisis.

political change of course of the FPÖ

In the political landscape, signs of a change of course at the FPÖ are increasing. With regard to the announced abolition of the CO₂ tax promised by the FPÖ, the party is limited to the deletion of the climate bonus. Meanwhile, it remains unclear how the FPÖ stands on the subject of "Sky Shield", which further increases the uncertainty about its position in the current government negotiations.

The MFG has announced a press conference on February 5, 2025 to report on the broken promises of the FPÖ and the urgency of a comprehensive corona processing. Despite internal differences, the political arguments seem to continue intensively.
