Schellhorn Statement Causes Internal Party Trouble

Because he referred to the experts from Agenda Austria as "so-called experts" in an interview with the daily newspaper "Die Presse" in light of the criticism of his deregulation package, he received a reprimand via X from his party colleague, the pink member of parliament Nikolaus Scherak.

Schellhorn Received Reprimand from His Own Party

"To defame PhD economists, with teaching assignments at the university, as 'so-called experts' is something a state secretary should not do," criticized Scherak, the pink state secretary. Schellhorn was previously quoted in the interview as saying: "There are, of course, the so-called experts like Agenda Austria, who are particularly clever but have not yet arrived in real politics." The head of the economically liberal think tank Agenda Austria is Schellhorn's brother Franz Schellhorn.
