SPÖ and Neos Want to Limit ORF Manager Salaries
The Neos and SPÖ parties question the ORF’s leadership choices. They want to limit manager salaries and reduce the size of the ORF Foundation Council. This is seen as a way to control spending and protect the ORF’s independence.
Henrike Brandstötter, a spokesperson for the Neos party, expressed concerns about the ORF president’s actions. The president only appointed one leader and filled the ORF Foundation Council once. The SPÖ and Neos believe this limits the ORF’s future plans. They want to control how much money the ORF spends. This change is meant to make the ORF’s management more accountable.
