The sub-committee on red-blue abuse of power is increasingly turning into a political mud-slinging match - with one more summons and one more legal dispute. It's about the Russian spy Jan Marsalek, Vladimir Putin's wedding gift to Karin Kneissl and accusations of post shuffling. The "Krone" knows when FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl will have to appear before the U-Committee, whether he will attend and which parliamentary group leader will soon receive a letter from a lawyer. 

Although the two committees of inquiry will not resume questioning until April, there can be no talk of an Easter break. In the committee on red-blue abuse of power, which was set up solely by the ÖVP, the sparks are flying even during the break.
