ORF insider: What’s behind Sagmeister’s dismissal
An ORF insider now describes an explosive reason for the sudden dismissal letter to presenter Sonja Sagmeister.
After 29 years as a presenter at the state broadcaster, Sonja Sagmeister's dismissal came as a surprise. The "ZiB" presenter now lashed out in the "Krone" newspaper. She had only defended herself against "interference" during an interview. In any case, a complaint is pending at the labor court.
"To stop secondary employment"
According to ORF insiders, the actual reason for the dismissal is more controversial (officially, it is only said that the "allegations are incorrect"). Sagmeister had been instructed for months to "stop her side jobs". This involved company shareholdings and business relationships, including with interview partners.
Loud silence
What is also suspicious in this context is the loud silence of the works council and editors' council, who usually speak out at every opportunity.
On November 17, the Sagmeister case will enter the next round at the Labor and Social Court.
