End of the U-Committee: everyone against the VP, no trace of Ibiza

13 months, 56 survey days, 120 surveys and around 1.8 million pages of files: at least on the statistical data of the Ibiza-U Committee, there was agreement among the political groups. It came to an end on Thursday without the respondents who had been invited to come. The U committee will not be extended; this would have required the approval of the Greens in addition to the opposition. At the special meeting on Monday requested by the SP and FP, this will be debated and voted on again, said SP parliamentary group leader Jan Krainer. Like the spokesmen for the other groups, he took stock on the last day. Striking: The actual triggers of the committee, the FP and the Ibiza video from its ex-chairman Heinz-Christian Strache, were no longer an issue.

Nevertheless, SP, FP, Neos and Grne saw a “set of findings” – in contrast to the VP. Their parliamentary group leader, Andreas Hanger, concluded from his point of view: “That was not a committee of inquiry, but a subordination committee”. An influence on the judiciary was proven “at no time”.

Krainer and Green Party spokeswoman Nina Tomaselli saw it completely differently. “The goal of the turquoise-blue federal government was to secretly, quietly and quietly rebuild the republic for the benefit of its own friends,” she said. The Ministry of Finance with the then General Secretary Thomas Schmid was a “hub”. The VP tried to build a “state within the state,” said Krainer. The files, which Finance Minister Gernot Blmel only had to deliver after the Federal President’s execution order, had “many other findings”. Now they could no longer be treated by the TP’s “tricks”.

FP parliamentary group leader Christian Hafenecker also shot himself at Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen, who was “contributor to the VP” due to the “late” execution. Neos vice club boss Nikolaus Scherak criticized the Greens for not voting for an extension of the committee.
