So far, the governors have been able to choose their ORF state directors-this decades of practice should now be a thing of the past. As the NEOs say, the right of hearing of the governors, who was de facto a say, is abolished.
In order to delete the relevant passage in the ORF law, a majority decision in the National Council is required. This is to take place after the summer break in September, as Henrike Brandstötter, media spokeswoman for the NEOS, explains: “We have achieved this in negotiations with the ÖVP and the SPÖ.”

This step is a great success for the independence of the ORF: “This strengthens independence and is a massive step towards an ORF, which is not a policy.” According to Brandstötter, who grew up in Mondsee, the abolition of the right of hearing, which grew up in Mondsee, was laid down in government agencies.
