This time it was the blue media spokesman Christian Hafenecker who commented on the cause.
Once again, he criticized the media portrayal of Jenewein’s alleged suicide attempt on Sunday, targeting “Krone” and “Kurier” in particular, who reported, among other things, about what Hafenecker said was a “fictitious farewell letter” from Jenewein. Reports that he was in a coma were also wrong. However, he did not want this criticism to be understood as a “all-out attack on the media”, “but a few journalists took part in the hounding”.
Hafenecker has already specified speculations expressed in the FPÖ in the past few days, according to which information about Jenewein’s state of health could have been made public through VP channels. “I really hope that we don’t find out that there is a connection that the commercial director of the Tulln hospital, where Jenewein is housed, is the husband of the governor of Lower Austria – who is Mr. Mikl”.
He also does not hope “that the ÖVP has really deigned to commit such acts” – however, “there is a suspicion that the ÖVP’s poison kitchen is very much involved,” said Hafenecker.
“No putschists”
Hafenecker left unanswered when the presidium meeting, at which the cause will be discussed, should take place. Upper Austria’s FP boss Manfred Haimbuchner also spoke up: “As FPÖ Upper Austria, we made it clear immediately after the tragic events of the past week that we would not make any further public comments out of consideration for the family,” said one sending.
As far as “exceeding media speculation about events within the FPÖ is concerned”, Haimbuchner referred to an “open democratic dialogue” within and outside the party, his focus being on government work in Upper Austria. “We are therefore not suitable either as putschists or as party rebels,” said Haimbuchner.
