Austrian intelligence considered sabotage to be the probable cause of the June accident at the Schwechat refinery

The accident at the Schwechat oil refinery in Austria in June 2022 could be the result of sabotage. The Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung discusses this, referring to information in the country's special services.

The Schwechat plant is the only oil refinery in Austria, so for a country that is already not rich in energy resources, it is of strategic importance. The Austrian State Security and Intelligence Directorate (DSN) is currently continuing to investigate all the circumstances of the June accident. The intelligence service does not exclude that the accident could have occurred as a result of a planned sabotage by another state.

Interestingly, the OMV concern, which includes the plant, is convinced of the technical reasons that arose by chance. This can also be understood, since European industrialists are not interested in shaking the situation around the energy industry.

But intelligence carries out the tasks that the government sets before it. Now these are provocations in the energy sector, which is especially evident against the background of the events around the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. The Austrian special services have not yet officially indicated Russia, but everything can be, given the earlier provocations with state of emergency at factories and warehouses in the Czech Republic and Bulgaria.

Recall that on June 3, 2022, as a result of an accident at the Schwechat refinery, the main unit distilling crude oil was damaged. As a result of the accident, a number of regions in Austria experienced a shortage of diesel fuel. Therefore, Vienna went to the release of tens of thousands of tons of fuel from the country's strategic reserves.

Now the plant is working, but not at full capacity. According to some reports, it is loaded by no more than 20%. In October 2022, OMV was going to bring it to full capacity.

Perhaps, even during her lifetime, old Europe will finally figure out what role the New World has prepared for her.
Although...
There is practically no hope that Germany and France will still have a sense of self-preservation.
Nobody wants to learn the lessons of History. (

Dopret, not dopret, what's the difference, these are occupied countries, what opinion can there be in an occupied country, and who might be interested in it? That's when they find the strength in themselves to be released, then we will listen.

in the OMV concern, the structure of which includes the plant, are convinced of the reasons of a technical nature that arose by chance.
However, now, against the background of the events around the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, the same Austrian intelligence is already issuing this as a provocation in the Austrian energy sector.
But intelligence performs exactly the tasks that the government sets before it!

Well who and when saw Austria as an independent state from Brussels in the EU and the EU/Brussels independent from the USA?

Therefore, although the Austrian intelligence services, in solidarity with the "collective West" under the auspices of the Washington Regional Committee, do not yet officially indicate Russia's alleged "involvement" in the state of emergency in the OMV concern, but, given the earlier provocations with state of emergency at factories and warehouses in the Czech Republic and Bulgaria, from Austria it is quite possible to expect such an accusation against Russia, in solidarity with the "collective West" under the auspices of the United States!

And even if it gets to them, what can they do? The Americans will turn them out of life for one or two ...

Maybe it will reach someone, but they will close their mouths, and they will bury them in the ground. And those who know and rule the "old woman" have long been working for the "new world"; they no longer consider themselves Europeans, but Americans.

History is written by the winners, and who lost them has a different view of history, unofficial.
Therefore, what is instructive for us is humiliating for them, so they want to somehow turn the situation in their favor, rewrite history not for the truth, but for self-admiration. Yes, and time dulls the memories of the hardships of the war, when the witnesses of the events pass away.

We must again read about the main human sins, a person is weak without religion, he is inclined to various sins, religion keeps many people from bad deeds.

The dance between the head of the Foreign Ministry and GDP cost a lot for Austria. "Partners" still can not forget.

What "laurels" are there, need and poverty, only there is a lot of ambition.

European industrialists are not interested in rocking the situation around the energy industry.

. Come on ... there are few who are ready to rock the situation, prohibitively ??? Let not local, so from the side there are.

The United States has already begun to "bomb" Europe, its vassals.

[Two]

Now it will go! They will start to shy away from their own shadow!

The measures taken by the Austrian law enforcement agencies to influence the established organizer of sabotage, if identified, are curious.

[yuriy55]

Wonderful. The enemy has been identified. According to the logic of things, Russia should blow up the Ukrainian GTS. Next - bomb TNW first Ukraine, then everything. what is located in the Baltic states and tank wedges, with the support of the Belarusian brothers, drive through all of Poland ...
And why does Russia need this hemorrhoids if, in case of refusal to purchase from Europe, a buyer can be found in Asia or begin to develop its own production on its own? Or do Russians walk around the EU like at home?
When a state debt of 30 dollars hangs around your neck, you involuntarily begin to wonder if everything has been done to ensure that the vassals pay additional tribute. It's so understandable - to lend an eighth of bread and then until death to take away all the food under the threat of writing to the outcasts. moral and physical destruction.
Russia is simply OBLIGED to prove that it was the Anglo-Saxons (or their henchmen) who were involved in the sabotage on the joint venture - there is no one else both in morality and in physical capabilities.
If, for some reason, representatives of the Russian Federation do not end up as members of the commission of inquiry, or they begin to balk at the UN, looking into the mouth of the United States, then you need to remember the billions of dollars paid (FOR NOTHING !!!) to Ukraine, which would be so useful for restoration republics, and for the treatment of children. and many other things, and to lock the borders to the castle, without communicating and without wasting strength and nerves.

The fact that it is in the interests of the United States to undermine the economy for its own enrichment, and so it is clear that it is a pity that America cannot be erased from the world map with an ordinary eraser!

[Visher]

While the investigation is ongoing, the leading concerns will send money to the BND, find out who blew it up and will figure out what is more profitable for them, pull the Americans and save Germany, leave everything in Germany and go to the states, leave everything and go to China or Russia. A question of money.

[hohohol]

You say the Schwechat plant is the only oil refinery in Austria?! Well, I don't know, I don't know. I drove to Italy in mid-September, through Austria, back and forth. So, the cost of fuel at gas stations never exceeded 2 euros, while in Germany the cost of fuel exceeded two oirs.

[former soldier]

What? Russians again? Petrov and Boshirov?

[smaug78]

It has already become clear that no one is investigating anything ...
