“The ORF is not there to prepare the stage for the PR show appearances to the mighty-it is there to confront them with hard facts in the sense of the population. At the summer discussion with Foreign Minister Neos-Meinl-Reisinger, it is high time that the public service broadcasting is serious and the massive security gaps in the foreign ministry relentlessly addressed,” said FPÖ chief today and today demanded General Secretary NaBg. Christian Hafenecker.
The alleged data leak and the suspicion that sensitive information about the residence and travel movements of Austrians could have fallen into the wrong hands are not a marginal note, but “a security policy earthquake”. “The ORF has to clarify why Meinl-Reisinger is trying to talk this scandal small, why it is obviously better silent in her house than is determined and whether it is deliberately protecting ÖVP-related networks and questionable diplomats,” said Hafenecker.
For the FPÖ general secretary, it is clear: “The questions must be: Who knew when? Were the state protection and judiciary immediately switched on? Why did there have been no immediate securing of evidence? And how can it be that the minister repeatedly wants to have experienced” from the media ‘of processes in her department? “
“If in the summer conversation only laved, eradicated and covered up, Meinl-Reisinger is no longer politically not to be kept. Anyone who as a minister makes their own department a black box and leaves the population unclear is ready for resignation,” said Hafenecker. “The ORF has to decide that evening whether it fulfills his order – or whether it turns into an extended arm of a pink cover shot strategy.”
