On state companies – right of inquiry in the state parliament is to be extended

The FPÖ would also like to collect information about state companies with inquiries from the state parliament.

Again and again, the opposition parties in the state parliament, in particular, come across the formulation in their inquiries: “These questions are not subject to the right of interpellation of the Salzburg state parliament.” This means that the processes in companies in which the state has a stake and areas that are outsourced to a GmbH remain were, often in the dark. The FPÖ now wants to change that with a motion in the state parliament. “If the state government does not want the opposition to gain insight into state-owned companies, they outsource them to a GmbH,” says FPÖ leader Marlene Svazek. With the application, which will be negotiated in the committee on March 1, the FPÖ now wants to extend the right of inquiry to state-owned companies. This is regardless of the extent to which the country has a stake in the respective company.
