The Neos party excludes one member. His name is Veit Dengler. He helped to build the party. The Neos say: He recorded a meeting in secret. That is forbidden.
Veit Dengler says: The phone lay on the table. He wanted to change the politics of the party. He finds the party funding in Austria too high. He wants less money for parties.
The leader of the Neos is Beate Meinl-Reisinger. She says: Veit Dengler broke our trust. We are a free party. We talk about other opinions. But we need trust.
Veit Dengler criticizes the Neos now. He says: The party leadership is very strict. He calls it an authoritarian style. Other opinions are not welcome there. The Neos reject this.
Veit Dengler stays in parliament. He is now an independent member. He has more time for speeches. He wants to do politics for the citizens.
