Turmoil in the karate federation
Comment: This is no way to run an association
There is unrest in the Austrian karate scene. After the departure of figurehead Buchinger, more and more people are coming forward with accusations against the association's leadership. However, they remain unimpressed. Why this is a serious problem - a commentary.
The Austrian Karate Federation (ÖKB) is in a state of turmoil. Not least because of the departure of Alisa Buchinger, who vehemently criticized the association. Many other insiders joined in and voiced harsh accusations. There is talk of "bullying" and a "poisoned climate" in the ÖKB. The competence of those responsible is also severely questioned ("The wrong people are at work"). The association is "completely incapable of acting" and can barely keep its head above water.
President Georg Rußbacher hardly seems to be affected by the criticism. He did admit to being "authoritarian" in certain matters. However, the Salzburg native rejects the other accusations. He rules out personal consequences: "Especially when the voices come from the underground." An eloquent choice of words that contributes nothing to a reappraisal. Yet this would be extremely important.
This cannot be a coincidence!
It can't be a coincidence that more and more people are reporting on poor conditions. Or that a long-standing figurehead like Buchinger is leaving the Karate Federation after just one year. We need clear answers to these questions. Solutions to the existing problems. Together instead of going it alone. With a functioning culture of discussion. You can't run an association without these things.
