SPÖ-Seltenheim on the ORF bodies reform: more audience, less politics

“The ORF is particularly important for the media location of Austria. That is why we will strengthen its independence and also give the audience more opportunities to contribute,” says SPÖ media spokesman Klaus Rachheim about the reform of the ORF committees, which is to be decided today in the constitutional committee and with which the VfGH judgment is implemented on time. The Greens’ criticism is absurd for rarely: “The Greens in the government had time to implement VfGH knowledge and did not make it. ****

“In the future, the federal government will only send nine people to the board of trustees as a supervisory board instead of six people instead of six people instead of six people instead of six people instead of six. The ORF also makes the ORF more independent that, after changing the government in the federal and state governments in the federal and state governments in the federal and state governments.

“While the FPÖ wanted to harm Austria and attack independent journalism, the SPÖ strengthens both in the federal government,” says the SPÖ media spokesman. “The impending government participation of the Kickl-FPÖ has shown that the destruction of a democratic media landscape would go very, very quickly.” The FPÖ would have fined independent media financially and at the same time funded right-wing online media. “We do the opposite: we secure a diverse media landscape, public and privately. And we stand for a strong, objective and independent ORF.”

At the same time, it is clear that in times when everyone has to save, the ORF also has to economically operate. The ORF contribution should therefore not be increased by at least 2029. (Conclusion) Ah
