"I can badure you that only certified security officers are present today." President Doris Bures (SP) opened yesterday the twelfth day of the BVT Investigation Committee session, calling the media. Until then, just before this instance, which examines a secret service focused on the observation of extremism, a neo-Nazi security officer had his service.

With Herbert Kickl (FP) was the first person responsible for the case in the case for the first time. The interior minister rejected all the allegations of the opposition. He knew the package of allegations against officials of the BVT, who had "targeted" him for months. The prosecution submitted the paper, but its secretary general Peter Goldgruber. Of which he has also "mainly with hindsight and punctually" been informed. He had never gone for an Umfärbeaktion. The order to "clean up" in the secret service, as stated in a newspaper note by prosecutor Ursula Schmudermayer, has not been said that way, Kickl said.

For the opposition, the Minister of the Interior remained stunned by various contradictions. In fact, Kickl did not mention in a parliamentary question that he had received Ursula Ria P., one of the four prosecution witnesses, at the FP club. Kickl said yesterday: He already knew about P.'s pbadport and badual harbadment allegations and he left quickly because the conversation "did not interest me anymore".

Kai Jan Krainer (SP) and Peter Pilz ("Now") accused the minister of publicly denying any harm caused to BAT by this case, although he was threatened with expulsion from the network International Intelligence Service.

It was noisy when mushroom made reference to the statement of the BAT chief, Peter Gridling, who had complained that Goldgruber wanted to know from him the names of the agents infiltrated into the fraternities. He had not been in conversation. And it's "a real insinuation" to accuse him of "taking abusive measures and endangering the lives of investigators to protect right-wing extremists," said Kickl. He would have the judiciary examine the suspicions of abuse of power.

The opposition of the house came from Michaela Kardeis. Unlike Kickl, the director general of public security confirmed that the head of BVT's extremist unit, Sibylle G., should be retired early by the department head.

"Mallet"

The Director General of Public Safety in the BAT Committee supported Peter Goldgruber on a sensitive issue. Michaela Kardeis could not confirm that the Secretary General of the Ministry of the Interior had asked the names of undercover investigators to Peter Gridling, director of the BVT, during a six-party conversation eyes. What Gridling told the committee.

The presentation was confirmed by Sibyl G. The head of the extremism department complained of bullying. Kardeis acknowledged errors in his relationship with G., who offered him early retirement or transfer to the sports department ("It was more like the mallet method"). The background was Goldgruber's, but Udo Lett, an employee of Herbert Kickl's firm, was suspicious of the unit leader because of the scandal of the Nazi songbook. Goldgruber, who denies such a conversation, allegedly accused him of knowing the collections of songs for more than two years and of having interpreted them specifically during the election campaign in Lower Austria.
