Not enough federal state

Upper Austria’s FPÖ leader Manfred Haimbuchner lashes out at ORF in an interview with “Krone,” criticizes its handling of reporting from the provinces, can envision a parliamentary inquiry committee—and also reveals why he doesn’t want an absolute majority despite having the wind at his back.

About a year and a half before the already eagerly anticipated state election in Upper Austria, FPÖ state party leader Manfred Haimbuchner spoke at length with “Krone” about his political plans. While Haimbuchner does not wish to comment in detail on the case involving his fellow Upper Austrian and former ORF General Director Roland Weißmann, he is willing to discuss the FPÖ’s reform plans for broadcasting.
