The commercial banking scandal will keep the public busy for longer. A piece of the puzzle has now been taken up by the Forchtensteiner FPÖ: rumored gift acceptance from politicians. Specifically, FPÖ chairman Christian Spuller wanted to know from Mayor Friederike Reismüller whether she had accepted gifts from Pucher or from the commercial bank.
He put an official, written request to Reismüller. “Five days after the deadline, Mayor Reismüller presented the FPÖ applicant, Christian Spuller, with a letter of reply in which the request was rejected. This was justified on the basis of an opinion prepared by the law firm Dax, Wutzlhofer & Partner, which is also presumably owned by the ‘Pucher List’.
In the letter from the municipality, without further justification, quotations from legal texts or submission of decisions by the highest court, it emerges that the FPÖ request does not “concern the municipality’s own sphere of activity”, according to a press release by the FPÖ. According to Spuller, however, the FPÖ has a completely different legal opinion and refers to the Federal Constitutional Law, according to which Reismüller’s answer must be given, because this very well affects the “own sphere of activity of the community”.
Spuller is now considering a complaint to the community supervisory authority. Reismüller does not want to leave this as it is. The reason for the missed deadline is that “we initially did not reach Spuller. He changed his phone number and email address. ”Why was the request rejected? According to Reismüller, the municipal regulations stipulate that inquiries relating to personal data are not permitted. “Everything that concerns this will be clarified through the lawyer,” says Reismüller.
