FPÖ Secretary General Christian Hafenecker expects the parliamentary inquiry committee on Corona measures to begin in spring, possibly in April or May. In an interview with APA, he emphasized that Dagmar Belakowitsch will take over the faction leadership.

Before that, the inquiry committee regarding the Pilnacek case is scheduled to conclude in autumn. Hafenecker made it clear that while an extension of the Pilnacek inquiry committee is possible, it is not necessarily required. This indicates that the focus will initially be on the ongoing proceedings.

So far, the FPÖ has not provided specific information regarding the structure or topics of the Corona inquiry committee, which is considered an important initiative for the upcoming parliamentary session.
