According to Thomas Schmid’s incriminating statements, the SPÖ considers the ÖVP Lower Austria particularly responsible. Sebastian Kurz’s “Buberl party” went in and out of the party headquarters of St. Pölten.
As reported, Thomas Schmid’s statements shook the People’s Party to its foundations. And it is exactly that foundation that the SPÖ is laying in Lower Austria: “Sebastian Kurz is not an accident at work of the ÖVP, he is a product of the ÖVP Lower Austria,” SPÖ state manager Wolfgang Kocevar said yesterday.
Personal ties
Andreas Kollross, SPÖ national councilor from Trumau and member of the corruption inquiry commission, had previously listed the personal ties between the “System Kurz” and the local blacks – from Axel Melchior to Stefan Steiner and Gerald Fleischmann to Philipp Maderthaner: are all in and out of the party headquarters of the ÖVP Lower Austria.” Kocevar in campaign mode: “The days of dazzling and show politics are over. It’s time for the ÖVP to see that.”
After a possible loss of the ÖVP absolute, will the SPÖ join forces with other parties to push the People’s Party from the state throne? This question remained unanswered.
Mikl-Leitner: “The courts decide!”
Yesterday, however, Johanna Mikl-Leitner responded in the Schmid minutes to the allegations against party friends of the ÖVP: “We live in a constitutional state. That means that only the judge decides who is guilty of something and who is not.”
