Blauer Spar -hammer – Benefits benefits, universes before: “ORF only ribs”

FPö-Grande Christian Hafenecker, as is known, had also issued the savings plan for ministries as a latte for public service. However, the black negotiators only want to freeze the budget tax of the new legislative period in 2027 or do not adapt to inflation. The media negotiators of both parties will meet for the second time on Friday.

In any case, the Blue Savings Hammer, depending on the calculation, offers between 100 and 150 million euros less for the ORF, depending on the calculation, from the household tax or the billion budget alone. This made the alarm bells stark at the Viennese head office on Küniglberg. The editors of the editors spoke about “destruction starts”. A petition has also been established to maintain government radio.

Threatening goals for domestic TV productions
Now the Green Foundation Head Lothar Lockkl also reports with an urgent warning: “If that comes, we can no longer retain the usual scope of services. Then there is only a skeleton of the ORF! Extra cuts would result in a program for cleaning up the program. Austrian sequences of the crime scene, Universum and Bergdokter, as well as sports report and the transfer of Star Night would be questioned.

In addition, the former campaign rate of federal president Alexander van der Bellen emphasizes: “The Constitutional Court has also made it clear that there is an obligation from the State to offer the ORF sufficient financial resources to comply with its mandate of public law. This makes it clear that radical cuts that lead to a complete program balancing are not in accordance with constitutional provisions.

The head of the ÖVP Freunde on the board of directors, Thomas Zach: “If ORF had not made a huge twist in recent years, he would have spent 1.5 billion euros in recent years. The efficiency increases in the structures, which was also massively demanded by the Board of Trustees, was possibly demanded by the Board of Trustees en masse. And this course will continue! “

Relying on blue and black government negotiators
Program institutions would have enormous consequences for sports, culture and regions. Only if sports and cultural events are visible on TV, can regional organizers get sponsorship income that finance these events. The Green Foundation Council: “The loss of ORF sports rights would not only have enormous effects for the sports clubs, but also for domestic tourism.”

The same applies to the film and music industry that has to do with removal of financing anyway. The cut of ORF productions would be an extra club. “No matter how uncomfortable these effects are, it is my job to point out on time and clearly. I ask all negotiators to be aware of the consequences of further massive cuts for the Austrian public and the domestic cultural and sports scene, “said Lockl.

On the contrary, the great economic threat to the Austrian and European media are the technical giants from the US and China, who vacuum more than 90 percent of online advertisements with digital platforms. The Green Foundation Council: “If there are a strong ORF and strong domestic media, in addition to savings, the funds are also needed to maintain the public service program.”

Please wait if the household tax is abolished
However, the prestige project of freedoms on their way to the Chancellery-the abolition of the unpopular ORF tax-is to wait for the tense household. FPö Boss Herbert Kickl had received the most applause in the new annual address for the renewed announcement. Now the mandatory reimbursement could only be reduced in a first step and they can only be completely removed in two years.

The stairs joke: financing the budget, which we tax payers, would only mean a political dependence on the ORF, which all parties always complain about.
