18.81 hectares of forest have disappeared, the gravel pit can be seen from afar: After the felling of a forest in Ohlsdorf, the Neos now also want the matter to be dealt with politically. They argue for the establishment of an investigation committee.
The evacuation of the huge area next to the western highway in Ohlsdorf is not only a concern of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which is investigating the first suspicions. At today’s meeting of the control committee, Neos club boss Felix Eypeltauer will submit an application for “the establishment of a committee of inquiry into procedures related to the Ehrenfeld II industrial development area”.
Authorities and politicians are in their sights
As reported in detail, the Court of Auditors criticized the events, for example because no environmental impact assessment was carried out. The responsible district administration and the politicians of Gmunden are in the crosshairs. Eypeltauer speaks about scandalous events from which a major ÖVP donor has benefited.
VfGH has dismissed an environmental NGO’s lawsuit
The Pinks want to know what mistakes were made during the eviction permit process. And: “Who bears the responsibility, especially in technical, administrative and political areas?” Speaking of procedures, the Constitutional Court has now dismissed a lawsuit brought by the NGO AllRise against Upper Austria, alleging that too much land was being used in our state.
