After Allegations of Official Misconduct: This is What National Council President Rosenkranz Says

"The delay has been clarified," said the office of President of the National Council Walter Rosenkranz after the meeting on Thursday. Accordingly, there should be no further consequences for him.

President of the National Council Rosenkranz Sees Case "Clarified"

The public prosecutor's office wants to investigate the blue deputies Harald Stefan, Martin Graf and club director Norbert Nemeth on suspicion of violating the prohibition law. The reason is their participation in a funeral where a song also used by the SS was sung - according to the FPÖ, however, in a supposedly historically unencumbered version from 1814. On November 20, Rosenkranz received corresponding mail from the Vienna public prosecutor's office, but the parties only learned about it from the media. The President of the National Council had been accused of having withheld the requests for several days. In the Presidium, the case has now been "clarified", it was said from his side. The office of the President of the National Council did not want to comment on details.

No Comment on Abuse of Office Allegation

"He has explained himself. This has been noted," said the office of the Third President of the National Council Doris Bures (SPÖ) in response to an APA inquiry. The extradition requests are now to be dealt with in the immunity committee of the National Council. Concealing the requests would have been pointless anyway, it was argued in Rosenkranz's office. After eight weeks, the deputies would automatically lose their parliamentary immunity. There was no comment on the complaint by the Jewish Students' Union (JöH). They said they had not yet received this in the office of the President of the National Council.
