  • The Austrian Press Council will examine Kleine Zeitung’s reporting about a possible priority surgery for Andreas Babler’s father.
  • The council said on Sunday that it had received several complaints about the matter.

The Austrian Press Council is examining Kleine Zeitung’s coverage of a possible decision to move the operation of Vice Chancellor Andreas Babler’s father forward in the queue.

The council announced the review on Sunday on Bluesky. Several complaints have been filed about the reporting and the possible preferential scheduling of the operation.

The examination concerns the newspaper’s coverage, rather than establishing whether the alleged priority treatment occurred. The report identifies the matter as a potential ethics violation under review by the press regulator.
