The content of the telephone conversation was already known, after all, ex-chancellor Sebastian Kurz (ÖVP) distributed the transcript of the telephone conversation in background conversations. Now you can hear the short Schmid conversation in the original sound, because the PR consultant and former BZÖ politician Stefan Petzner has published a recording.
On Monday evening, Petzner shared the recording on Twitter, “sebastian Kurz + Thomas Schmid. a radio play in six parts/tweets,” he wrote. It is not a fake, he emphasized. The conversation also matches the widely circulated transcripts, Kurz’s voice is clearly recognizable – sources have now also confirmed the authenticity of the recordings to krone.at Kurz’s lawyer, Werner Suppan, presented the phone log as a “bomb” two weeks ago, intended to exonerate his client because it by Thomas Schmid at the WKStA.
Now you can hear the former ÖVP politician himself complain to ex-ÖBAG boss Thomas Schmid that it was “such brutality” to accuse him of corruption. When listening, it becomes clear that some of the formulations of the former Chancellor have been chosen with great care.
Kurz complains about negative reports about him: “They play now I said, the guy with the middle lean is a pig, and then act like no one else said it before.” The “I’m portrayed as being the first person in Austria to ever complain about who,” says Kurz.
“Sexists” and “Creepy”
Schmid agrees, berating “all the sexists at Standard (so the paper, take note), these old men who always act like this, now they think they can be morality.” Former NEOS boss Matthias He also calls Strolz a “creepy”.
The telephone conversation took place on October 18, 2021, a few days after house searches had taken place in the Chancellery. Sebastian Kurz asks Schmid several times how he could find out he was involved in the affair and have the surveys conducted. “They build their own stories together,” answers Thomas Schmid. At the end of the conversation, the two arrange a face-to-face meeting to further discuss the matter.
