"Measured by deeds"
Schilling wants to put accusations behind her
The new MEP Lena Schilling wants to put the accusations from her private life behind her. "I have the next five years to prove what I stood for," she said on Wednesday. She wants to be judged by her "political deeds".
However, the 23-year-old promised to explain the background to the allegations in the future. Now is not the time for that, Schilling clarified. "I have taken responsibility and would actually like to talk about politics and the climate now," said the Green MP. At the same time, she admitted on Wednesday that "mistakes happened again and again" in communication during the election campaign.
What it was about
The allegations against Schilling concern false claims such as an alleged affair with ORF presenter Martin Thür and that a former girlfriend had been beaten by her husband. The politician has already signed two cease-and-desist declarations and has therefore agreed not to make these statements in future.
