The Neos had accused the Greens of friendly economics as part of the U-Committee. There were “zero interventions,” Kogler emphasized to journalists on Friday. The allegations were “bottom drawer” and he “didn’t want to put up with it”.
“Twisted 180 degrees”
Neos MP Yannick Shetty accuses the Greens of pressuring COFAG management to speed up a certain company’s application for Corona aid. This was shown by emails from Kogler’s cabinet. The story was “reversed,” replied Kogler.
At that time, Neos and SPÖ publicly presented a case in which problems with the payment of Corona aid were raised – people had to ask whether it was really such a terrible fate, Kogler justified the emails. “That was the reason for the demand.”
“I’m really annoyed that this is being twisted completely 180 degrees,” explained Kogler. That was “bottom drawer”, he “didn’t want to put up with it” and called for a “reasonable discussion”.
