FPÖ pulls before the constitutional court: Corona-U committee in the crisis!

Österreich - The FPÖ is faced with considerable hurdles after the traffic light government has not approved its application for an investigation committee for Corona measures and the death of the former judicial leader Christian Pilnacek. According to Oe24 plans to draw in front of the constitutional court (VfGH) in order to achieve clarification of the desire. The coalition factions will reject the FPÖ's project as vague and indefinite on Wednesday.

VP parliamentary group leader Andreas Hanger has announced that the coalition will insist on the legality of the FPÖ application. A legal report by Christoph Bezemek and Mathi's Fister questions the admissibility and clarity of the subject of the investigation, which deals with the "intimidation" of critics by the Ministry of the Interior and the death of Pilnacek. In its argumentation, the FPÖ would like to treat the two topics in separate committees, which supports Hanger in a proposal, so Kleine Zeitung .

decision making and time pressure

The FPÖ has the opportunity to revise your application on Wednesday to possibly gain the acceptance of other factions. If this succeeds, the committee could be established before the parliamentary summer break. Otherwise, the path remains over the VfGH, where a decision is expected within four weeks. This harbors additional pressure on the FPÖ because it only has two weeks to contest the decision of the Procedure Committee, so Kurier .

The object of the investigation itself is assessed as problematic. Both hangers and the ÖVP see the content as inadmissible, since it does not affect a specific or completed process in the area of implementation of the federal government. The decision of the Procedure Committee is therefore crucial to specify further steps. The committee has up to four weeks to formulate an answer.

political context and challenges

The FPÖ has attracted a lot of attention with its concern to set up an investigation committee under the title "ÖVP-Machtisuse". However, the other factions expressed concerns that make rapid clarification necessary. In a special meeting, it was pointed out that there are differences between the topics that are to be treated. If all factions are to agree to an agreement, the first surveys could begin in September if the FPÖ does not have to advance their project by the VfGH.
