FPÖ boss Herbert Kickl asserted in the ORF summer talks on Monday that there was no dispute within the FPÖ. “The party is very stable. I know that some people want something else.” As the “responsible boss”, he drew consequences in the Hans-Jörg Jenewein case. You have to ask him for details.
The former member of parliament and later club employee Jenewein, who is also considered a confidante of Kickl, is said to have written a complaint against the Viennese FPÖ. According to reports, this is about alleged subsidy abuse. Kickl has always rejected assumptions that he knew about the ad. Jenewein has since left the party.
More – for example who actually filed the complaint – will be known when Jenewein is able to be interrogated again, the FP chairman suspected. Jenewein is said to have recently attempted suicide after being suspended from the parliamentary club.
allegations not new
In such a case, a responsible boss must take legal action, emphasized Kickl: “I did that.” Kickl was convinced that he or the Vienna regional group would have expelled Jenewein from the party if he had not left voluntarily. According to Kickl, the allegations themselves, which were found on Jenewein’s cell phone, are not new. According to lawyers, no investigative activity is to be expected here.
The FPÖ leader also pointed out that he had recently been unanimously supported by the Presidium as a candidate for chairman for the upcoming party conference. And since the party leader’s term of office is three years, he also assumes that he will also be the top candidate for the next National Council election, said Kickl. (apa)
