According to the “Standard”, Schilling admits in the report that she does not know Thür personally or digitally. Nevertheless, she “gave third parties the impression that I had had a relationship with Martin Thür”. She regrets this and will refrain from doing so in the future, it continues.
During the EU election campaign, Thür had already asked Schilling through his lawyer for a correction, but she refused. “Now Ms Schilling has confirmed in a notarized document that she does not know me and has accepted responsibility. That is the end of the matter for me,” the ORF journalist is quoted as saying in the report.
