Austria fails to face itself

"Austrian society operates on two levels.

There is the neat, self-disciplined face of order and bureaucracy,

and beneath it

a hazy world of who you know, backhanders, compromises, unauthorised decisions and deals that lead to a chronic lack of personal accountability."

"Rarely does anyone get prosecuted. In Austria, where the surface life is blissfully uncomplicated, very little sticks."

"We won’t allow the whole country to be held hostage by one man. Austria is not the perpetrator."

"...culture of secrecy, of lack of accountability and of astonishing incompetence."
