FPÖ Secretary General Christian Hafenecker speaks of a “misunderstanding” and for Salzburg state party leader Marlene Svazek the subject has been “eaten”. Is this really the end of the discussion about a zero pay round for politicians in the Blues?
“Everything that needs to be said has been said. That was already the case before the chat messages appeared,” she let her APA spokesperson tune in. In any case, it must be a big summer slump if the subject has dominated the media for a week,” said Svazek, adding: “We certainly didn’t leak anything.”
Svazek wants “no applause” for the donation
Incidentally, Svazek also confirmed on Friday that he had donated 5,000 euros to the initiative “Austria helps Austria” for the flood victims in Carinthia and Styria. She has been helping Austrians in need for years, and there is no connection between the donation and the current salary discussion in politics. “I’m not someone who likes to ‘sell’ obvious things to get applause,” she wrote on her Facebook page a few days ago.
Since the “Krone” published secret FPÖ chats three days ago, in which Herbert Kickl’s deputy boss Dagmar attacked Belakowitsch under the motto “Where was the performance?” Svazek is on fire with the Blues. The internal chat group is reportedly no longer posted and the search is on for the mole responsible for the leak.
