Above all, it is the rosed projects that penetrate the public from the government negotiations between the FPÖ and the ÖVP to the public that had persuaded him to attend this press conference, said the Green State Councilor Stefan Kaineder this morning. Savings in the promotion of established “quality media”, planned clearing at public service broadcasting and the simultaneous creation of a “blue parallel universe” in the media sector would be a danger to open and liberal society.
Proof of this is the speeches of several freedom officials. “‘System media’ is spoken, journalists are discredited at the same time when they report critically about blue machinations – that is alarming,” said Kaineder.
Therefore, he took on the People’s Party, which “has to finally straighten her back as a democratic party”. It is up to her in the negotiations with the free conditions that continue to guarantee press freedom in Austria. This includes preventing any attempts that could prevent or contain critical reporting. Media funding must be based on quality criteria.
“Determination of the ORF”
Last but not least, the ORF threatens to “dew” through the austerity plans promoted by blue side. Platforms such as ORF III or the radio station FM4 would be out of the end – especially if the budget is abolished and the ORF is financed out of the budget. “That would be in the way of the independence of the broadcast, since” a general director can go to finance minister once a year, “said club chairman Severin Mayr. However, this was also desired by the freedom:” You want to take the ORF to the goose band. ”
