FPÖ calls for an investigation committee: ÖVP in the focus of abuse of power!

The political landscape in Austria is faced with a crucial moment, while the FPÖ general secretary Christian Hafenecker called for the resignation of the ÖVP and launched an committee of inquiry. In a clear announcement, Hafenecker describes the ÖVP as a "system" and "power apparatus", which intervenes deeply into the state, the authorities and the media. In his urgent request to the ÖVP Chancellor Stocker, he asks provocatively: "Party or the state, what is your top priority?" ots.at reports.

Hafenecker has requested the convening of an investigation committee to process the alleged abuse of power in the ÖVP. This committee should particularly shed light on Christian Pilnacek, who remains doubtful, and the government's approach during the Corona pandemic. A special meeting will take place in the National Council next Wednesday, in which the exact concern will be presented. The FPÖ has over 25 percent of the mandates, which means that it is able to enter the application independently, such as "https://www.meinbeindzirk.at/c-politik/fpoe-draengt-fuer-u--ffall-pilnacek_a7323312") meinbezirk.at explained .

A central concern of the application is to clarify the mysterious circumstances around Dentod of Pilnacek. Hafenecker criticizes how to deal with its digital devices and the sudden end of the investigation, which in his opinion are important for public trust in the police. In addition, the FPÖ focuses on the abuse of the police and the judiciary to legitimize an authoritarian course during the Corona crisis. This not only refers to the intimidation of critical citizens, but also to influence independent experts.

the "deep state" and the importance of democratization

Hafenecker warns of a "deep state", which is considered a legitimate term in political science that indicates the potential danger to the democratic basic order. In his appeal to the SPÖ and NEOS, he emphasizes the responsibility of these parties for democracy and transparency and warns that mobilization against the committee of inquiry cannot be in the interests of the citizens. Trust in state institutions is to be restored by the Enlightenment, which is of crucial importance with regard to the credibility of the government. that lobbyism can continue to endanger democratic structures, and the current events only seem to reinforce this topic.
