"New Eisenstädter": Inquiry Committee Received Green Light from State Parliament President

The president of the Burgenland state parliament, Astrid Eisenkopf (SPÖ), gave the green light for the investigative committee on the housing company "Neue Eisenstädter" early on Friday morning. The request for this was submitted by the SPÖ after Governor Hans Peter Doskozil (SPÖ) reported on deficiencies and legal violations based on a special audit. A start date has not yet been set.

After the state parliament session on Thursday, which extended into the night due to numerous agenda items, the presidium continued to meet. Eisenkopf classified the request for establishment as permissible following a unanimous recommendation from the presidium conference.

Start Date for Investigative Committee on "Neue Eisenstädter" Open

When the investigative committee will begin is still open. A start before Christmas is possible, but a January date is considered more likely. In addition to finding a procedural judge, the factions must nominate their members, with the composition reflecting the factional composition in the main committee. The SPÖ is entitled to four representatives, the Freedom Party to two, and the ÖVP and the Greens to one each. How they will fill the teams is still being discussed within the state parliament parties, according to an APA inquiry. It is already decided that at least housing spokesperson Thomas Grandits will be involved for the FPÖ. The Greens have confirmed club chairman Wolfgang Spitzmüller and, in representation, Margit Paul-Kientzl, who plan to alternate in the committee.

The location where the committee will be held also needs to be organized. The last investigative committee on the Commerzialbank Mattersburg took place due to coronavirus at the Eisenstadt Cultural Center.
