Yesterday, with immediate effect, he suspended the advance transmission of press releases from his authority to the Chancellery, which had been running since the end of March.
“It is important to me that independence is not called into question and that the legal framework is strictly adhered to. Independence is the DNA of a statistical authority,” said Thomas. He also referred to the EU Statistical Offices Code of Conduct, which provides for equal treatment of all users.
The opposition had previously run into a storm against the advance transfer and had spoken of turquoise “message control”. In addition to the Chancellery, the agency’s economic and statistical councils were also informed in advance that these were behind his decision, said Thomas.
In addition to Thomas, Gabriele Petrovic is the general director of finance. The native German rejects political proximity.
