Corona Committee Not a Must for Vienna FPÖ Chief Nepp
On the occasion of the ongoing coalition negotiations with the ÖVP, the Corona clarification is no longer as important to at least some Freedom Party members as it was before the National Council election. Because for the Vienna FP leader Dominik Nepp, the parliamentary investigative committee promised during the election campaign to deal with the Covid crisis is no longer mandatory. We promised clarification, but that does not necessarily have to happen in an investigative committee, he explained in the krone.tv show "Club 3".
Corona: Nepp Moves Away from Investigative Committee
This could just as well be done by a commission in which all parties are represented. "As a citizen, I don't care," Nepp said on Tuesday. As an opposition party, you need the investigative committee to get access to the files. But in government, you have access to them. In addition, the Vienna FPÖ leader pointed out the cost of a committee.
In principle, the FPÖ could initiate an investigative committee at any time. It has enough deputies in the National Council to have it set up on its own. So far, however, this has been omitted. An FPÖ investigative committee is considered a red line for the ÖVP in the negotiations.
