FPÖ demands U-Committee: ÖVP with suspected abuse of power!

FPÖ demands urgent request

The FPÖ sees "all the prerequisites for the establishment of the U-Committee" and calls for an urgent request to the new Federal Chancellor Christian Stocker (ÖVP) with the title: "ÖVP-power abuse: state or party, what is the top priority for you, Mr. Chancellor?". Hafenecker added that the ÖVP should prepare for the upcoming developments over the weekend. Another investigation complex will affect the role of the Ministry of the Interior during the corona measures, where the FPÖ criticizes that the police have planned and systematically intimidated.

The committee can charge and question information persons and has the authority to impose sanctions against information persons who refuse to appear.

The first round of the information persons will include Interior Minister Gerhard Karner and Chancellor Christian Stocker, with the Chancellor's possible representation of the Chancellor Alexander Pröll. The effects and findings of these hearings could have far -reaching consequences for the ÖVP and its management in sensitive policy areas.

The FPÖ uses its minority law to establish the committee of inquiry, which means that it does not need to support another faction. The coming days promise to become politically explosive, and the opposition will continue to follow the developments.
