Former Agriculture Minister Elisabeth Köstinger (ÖVP) was invited to join the ÖVP’s corruption investigation committee on Thursday. The deputies are interested in having studies, surveys and advertisements carried out and in fulfilling functions during their ministry. The investigation day is interrupted by the special session of the National Council. Due to the anti-inflation package, it will meet at 12 noon for an unscheduled meeting.
Once the plenum is over, the second interviewee moves on – namely with Gernot Maier, who was Secretary General of the Ministry of Agriculture under Köstinger and Cabinet Secretary.
On Wednesday, the “role model” project of the pollster and former Minister of Family Sophie Karmasin (ÖVP) in 2019 and 2020 for the Ministry of Economy, which cost 125,920 euros in taxpayers’ money, was at the center of the VP’s corruption investigation committee. Because ex-minister Margarete Schramböck (ÖVP) was absent due to corona, ex-secretary general Michael Esterl was asked about it. He claimed not to have made the award decision.
