Höchstgericht: Not all contested statements about the Coronapandemie violated the Audiovisual Media Services Act.
However, several other statements, in which the Federal Administrative Court had also detected violations, do not violate the law.
In the ServusTV broadcast "Der Wegscheider" 2021, statements on the Coronapandemie continue to occupy the courts. Now the Constitutional Court (VfGH) has confirmed in a decision published on Wednesday that in several cases the objectivity of the Audiovisual Media Services Act was violated. Several other statements, in which the Federal Administrative Court (BVwG) had also recognized violations, do not violate the law.
