FPÖ requests committee: Enlightenment about ÖVP networks!

Österreich - On May 21, 2025, National Council President Walter Rosenkranz announced that the fpö will submit an application for a parliamentary committee of inquiry to the Causa Pilnacek and the so -called "black networks". The application also includes the government's measures during Corona pandemic, which have been heavily criticized in recent years. In this step, the FPÖ sees a necessary measure to denounce political influence and abuse of power of the ÖVP.

The urgent request from the FPÖ addresses the alleged abuse of power within the ÖVP. At the meeting, Chancellor Christian Stocker was absent due to appointment problems and was represented by State Secretary Alexander Pröll. FPÖ-General Christian Hafenecker expressed that the committee should be understood as "act of political self-defense", since the ÖVP a "deep black state" "" established that the critic and media control. Hafeneck emphasized the need to defend democracy against the ÖVP, and criticized the intimidation of critics of measures during pandemic.

political controversy and reactions

The FPÖ is sharply criticized by the ÖVP. Secretary General Nico Marchetti accused the freedom to support conspiracy theories. The neos man Douglas-Hoyos also complained that the application was not made available in advance, which the debate described as "herb and beet". Sigi Maurer from the Greens pointed out the many open questions in the Pilnacek case and called for comprehensive information.

State Secretary Pröll countered the accusations of the FPÖ by describing the large number of inquiries as a hindrance to the authorities. He often referred to information that has already been published and made it clear that the FPÖ blocked the administration with its inquiries.

establishment of the committee of inquiry

The FPÖ now has enough mandatars to advance the committee that is to begin in September. This committee of inquiry could have a significant impact on the political landscape in Austria. Investigation committees are part of the political control and can request files and documents, invite information and invite you to testify, whereby a refusal can lead to refusal.

The importance of this procedure becomes particularly clear when you consider that the Constitutional Court (VfGH) could possibly decide on the subject of the committee. Political processing and transparency could at least partially be secured, even if the shadow of the "Black State" is about the debates.
