The case of the fugitive ex-Wirecard board member Marsalek leaves many important questions unanswered. But the major parties in Austria lack the will to educate people politically.

It would be particularly important now to find out as much as possible about the involvement of the domestic authorities and politics with Russia.

The three major parties – ÖVP, SPÖ and FPÖ – all have their own problem areas.
