DISINFO: Germany actively meddles in Austria's domestic affairs

SUMMARY

Germany actively meddles in Austria’s domestic affairs. If Heinz-Christian Strache had met with a citizen of Germany or the US, the reaction of the Austrian public and media would probably be different.

RESPONSE

An ungrounded conspiracy about the Strache-Affair as German meddling in Austria's domestic affairs. Although the so-called Ibiza scandal began after a joint report by the German news magazine Der Spiegel and the daily Süddeutsche Zeitung, Austrian authorities have not claimed German interference in the country's domestic affairs.
