“By decision of the public council of June 5, 2025, the Black-Rot-Pink-Pink-Zampel commits the publisher’s loser stamp again in terms of ORF bodies. Instead of respecting the knowledge of the Constitutional Court and the incompatibility for ORF funding supports, the ÖVP makes the nomination of the high-ranking ÖVP officials Aubauer (older generations) and Karl (universities) unabashedly and, with the support of the other two system parties-and the SPÖ media minister Babler-continue to expand their media-politically in ORF. Make a reverse, ”said FPÖ general secretary and media spokesman NABG today. Christian Hafenecker, Ma.
“After the board members Hauer (ÖGB/SPÖ) and Heart (umbrella organization/ÖVP) had to be withdrawn due to obvious constitutional and illegality of their nomination, one tries with the ÖVP representatives Aubauer, deputy chairwoman of the ÖVP seniors, and Karl, deputy state chairman of the ÖAAB, another time. Interesting the Austrian ORF consumers who finance this institution through the forced household levy. To sign ORF law, one can only interpret the constitution as a political ‘perpetrator’.
To do this, once again, the power policy division of the ERF audience councils to be sent to the Board of Trustees according to the party and system-political power distribution key 4 (ÖVP): 4 (SPÖ): 1 (Neos). SPÖ and NEOS once again lined up in the stirried ironing system for the “deep state” of the ÖVP. The fact that the SPÖ Vice-Chancellor Babler, which is responsible according to the Federal Ministry Act and thus the distribution of competence within the Federal Government, has all this and, as a “media minister”, in no way corrected, shows, as canceled, the former verbal opposition is already in the government office after a few months. In any case, there could be no question of “less influence” in the Board of Trustees – the government is trying to trick the Constitutional Court simply and moved through the detour of the public council.
With the three party-free ORF audience councils, which were made for election, there would also have been personalities who would have been a signal for more independence in the Board of Trustees. Martin Ladstätter, for example, would have been a clear socio-political sign in the highest ORF committee as a representative of people with disabilities. “The fact that this has been in favor of party politics is another documentary evidence of what the Stockers, Bablers, Meinl-Reisingers and Co. is about: not about Austria, not the Austrians and also not about independent and objective reporting in ORF, but only for influence in the direction of a ‘good government radio,” Hafenecker concludes.
