⚖️ The Day of Reckoning? Wöginger in the Witness Stand
Today, on March 03, 2026, all of Austria looked towards Linz. In Room 101 of the Regional Court, August Wöginger, one of the most powerful string-pullers in current politics, sat on the defendant's bench.
Highlights of Today:
- The "Not Guilty" Plea: Wöginger was pugnacious. The diversion in 2025 was only a strategic retreat to protect his family, not an admission of wrongdoing.
- Late Regret or Tactical Maneuver? His statement "I wouldn't do it again today" marks an interesting turning point in his defense. He admits the mistake of the "request for review," but denies the criminal intent behind it.
- The Fronts Harden: While the co-defendant Herbert B. describes Thomas Schmid's statements as a "lie," everyone prepares for the duel on March 09, when Schmid himself will testify.
Mockumentary Context: In our film project, we use these scenes for the finale of Part 4. We ask the question: Where does the "citizen concern" end and where does the systematic subversion of the rule of law begin?
Satirical Element: Today we sketched a scene in which Udo Samel (as Wöginger) tries to explain to a computer algorithm that an intervention is merely a "human update" of the database.
