The NEOS is likely to file a statement of fact in the coming days with the Linz prosecutor’s office against the Seniors Association of Upper Austria on suspicion of misuse of funding, oo announced. NEOS boss Felix Eypeltauer Tuesday. In addition to the advertisement, the Pinks demanded with the Greens and the SPÖ in an open letter to the ÖVP state party leader LH Thomas Stelzer that this almost two million euros be “repaid down to the last cent”.
The seniors’ association of the Upper Austrian ÖVP has invested the millions of euros in corona funds for clubs and non-governmental organizations, although parties and their sub-organizations are excluded from this. It is clear to Eypeltauer that the money from the NPO fund has been collected “illegally”. Once again, he was appalled at the “ruthlessness” with which the ÖVP “created parallel structures in the midst of one of the greatest crises to waste taxpayers’ money”, alluding to the doubling of the Senior Citizens’ Association as an ÖVP sub-organization and as a non-profit organization.
Open letter to governor
In a joint open letter sent out on Tuesday afternoon, NEOS, Greens and SPÖ turned to Upper Austria directly to Stelzer: “This approach to your party is fueling unbridled disenchantment with politics. It diminishes the already tarnished confidence in our democratic political system and again discredits the party system. This is of great concern to us. Because we are not like that “That’s not the way politics is,” it reads.
At the same time, the three state parliament clubs appealed in the letter to the state governor “not only to provide clarification and transparency as state party chairman, but also to immediately initiate the repayment of these subsidies”.
