Vienna (OTS) – “I understand that the first instance guilty verdict once morest ex-Chancellor Kurz is unpleasant for the ÖVP in the election campaign year, but I strongly advise the ÖVP not to fall back into old patterns and mount political attacks once morest the judiciary, like they did “We have already done this unsuccessfully in the past,” said the Green Justice spokeswoman, Agnes Prammer, in response to Constitutional Minister Karoline Edtstadler’s statements in today’s ORF press hour.
“Minister Edtstadler demands that the Minister of Justice intervene in legal proceedings. This is in complete contradiction to the Austrian constitution and the principle of separation of powers. As Constitutional Minister and former judge, Karoline Edtstadler knows this,” emphasizes Prammer.
Prammer also refers to the statements of the chairman of the “Criminal Law” section of the Association of Judges and President of the Vienna Regional Court, Friedrich Forsthuber, who quite rightly describes the events as “ligitation PR”, which have the sole purpose of “the person of the judge to attack”. According to Forsthuber, “apples are mixed with oranges” because “the disciplinary proceedings have absolutely nothing to do with the conduct of the current proceedings once morest the former Chancellor Kurz”.
