FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl invited Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen to the special session on Wednesday in an open letter to the National Council. So he could be an “eye and earwitness” to how the ÖVP and the Greens behaved.
The special session at the request of the SPÖ and FPÖ examines recent statements by former Secretary-General of the Ministry of Finance, Thomas Schmid, to the Public Prosecution Service for Economic Affairs and Corruption. In it, Schmid accused several ÖVP politicians. The two opposition parties demand a statement from Chancellor Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) in parliament.
Do you have to take a picture on the spot
Van der Bellen is expected to attend the special session in order to get a picture of it on the spot, including “how the chairman of the National Council Sobotka (Wolfgang, note), who would like to play the role of guarantor of the dignity of the The House of Representatives has long since become the greatest burden for this dignity,” says Kickl. Even without the recent accusations against him, his partisan chairmanship of the commission of inquiry alone would be a reason for his resignation, the FPÖ leader says.
Nehammer sees no responsibility for himself
The federal president could also get an impression of how Chancellor Nehammer as ÖVP party chairman sees no responsibility for the activities of his party, Kickl says. And Van der Bellen could also see how the Greens, “who in their own interpretation have leased political decency for themselves”, will once again build the wall for the ÖVP.
