Maurer zu ORF-Spitze: „Muss sofort zurücktreten!“ | krone.tv NACHGEFRAGT

Following the election of Clemens Pig as the new Director General of the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF), tensions continue to run high. In a krone.tv interview, Green Party media spokesperson Sigrid Maurer sharply criticized the appointment process, calling it a "great farce." She particularly targeted ORF Foundation Board Chairman Heinz Lederer, accusing him of "cronyism" and acting "as if he were the Director General." The Green politician is adamant: "He must resign immediately." She also raised legal concerns about the appointment process and doubted that Pig would take office as planned in January. In the studio, Maurer discussed media freedom, political interference, and the future of the ORF with krone.tv editor-in-chief and deputy chairman of the Association of Austrian Private Broadcasters, Max Mahdalik.
