Vienna (OTS) – “The charge of alleged false testimony against ex-ÖVP Chancellor Kurz will probably only be the tip of the iceberg, for which he now has to answer before the judge. The Freedom Party places its full trust in the judiciary and its investigative work. Now it’s the courts’ turn,” remarked the Liberal Secretary General of the NAbg. Christian Hafenecker, MA, in a first reaction.
The fact that this accusation came about at all is another good reason for maintaining the duty of truth in the parliamentary investigative committees. Hafenecker: “It was not for nothing that ÖVP Parliament President Sobotka seriously questioned the obligation to tell the truth. If it really does fall, parliamentary investigative committees will be toothless and ineffective.
