Ads sandwiched? – Chats put pressure on Minister Totschnig

Date:

Norbert Totschnig would have envisioned the start of his term as agriculture minister differently. A failed interview with the “Krone”, an inglorious role in the implementation of a controversial animal protection law (critics speak of an extension of animal suffering), and now this. chat. Evaluated from the cell phone of ex-bag boss Thomas Schmid, source of turquoise evil.

The “Krone” has the chats. Reviewed by the WKStA: On November 12, 2018, an aide to the Ministry of Finance (BMF) Secretary-General Schmid informed the then director of the farmers’ association, Norbert Totschnig, that he wanted a recall on the topic of “farmer’s newspaper”. MMag. Schmid refers in this connection to Mag. pasquali. Totschnig thanks him the same day: “Thank you very much!! It worked!!”

Only 17 days later, the BMF placed advertisements in the “Bauernzeitung” for the first time. Tax money of 62,695.28 euros is flowing. Did Totschnig wedge ads back then? Remarkable answer: Because of her previous work at the BMF, an employee of the newspaper Totschnig asked to be approached at the BMF. “Whether and to what extent advertisements were placed in the ‘Bauernzeitung’ was a matter between the ‘Bauernzeitung’ and the BMF.”
