An advance by the Green Party Tomaselli is causing a lot of unrest and anger. And – there is the prospect of an extensive review.
René Benko and his political entanglements will be the subject of a U committee. The “Krone” first reported this the day before yesterday. An advance of the Green Party Nina Tomaselli causes attacks. Benko offers many spaces. The ÖVP is not impressed.
After all, it was about the broker’s close relations with Kurz and Co. Chancellor Karl Nehammer said it was an “individual opinion of an MP”. Andreas Hanger, committee member of the ÖVP, says it is all about ‘personal profiling’.
Angry Reds and the burdens around Signa
The SPÖ is upset, especially because the Greens, who are now calling on the opposition to set up a Benko Commission, could have been active themselves for a long time. And you should not use the media to exert pressure, as financial spokesperson Jan Krainer says. After all, the Reds are waiting, boss Babler regularly rails against super-rich people like Benko who can do something about it.
Moreover, the Red ex-chancellor Gusenbauer is still on the advisory board of Benkos Signa. This is what FPÖ leader Kickl is advocating. Gusenbauer is in the Signa network “like a big, fat spider.” He emphasizes that the FPÖ submitted an application in June after the bankruptcy of Kika/Leiner.
The blue committee specialist Christian Hafenecker sees a “movement of the Greens”. They could have agreed to the FPÖ proposals a long time ago. Also to the Corona billion agency Cofag. Hafenecker’s wish: Cofag and Benko in one committee. “Signa has also received millions in aid. We are negotiating with the SPÖ.”
