An investigative commission complains that ex-Foreign Minister Schallenberg did not dismiss an ambassador after a lack of disciplinary proceedings. The top diplomat published short stories in a blog for many years.


Investigation Commission reveals that personnel representatives had unanimously called for the ambassador to be recalled – without consequences
This was the result of the Commission set up by Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger (NEOS), who presented her report on Monday. Former Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg (ÖVP), who could have taken the decision, did not reply to a contact request by e-mail, said the chairman, Thomas Starlinger.
That ambassador, who came to the headlines because of an obs tent blog, should have to be dismissed already after the announcement of the documents.
Schallenberg was informed according to the report, did not act. Starlinger Commission sees misjudgement
