Athesia and Chamber of Commerce
The Ebner family owns the relative majority in the Athesia publishing house . Michl Ebner is President of the Board of Directors and Managing Director of Athesia. His brother Toni is editor-in-chief of the Dolomites .
In 2008 Ebner was elected President of the Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Crafts and Agriculture (Chamber of Commerce for short) Bolzano, which was criticized by the Greens in the run-up to the election due to conflicts of interest . In a secret ballot, the representatives of the trade associations in the Chamber of Commerce in 2008 elected Ebner with 35 out of 44 votes, and when he was re-elected in the summer of 2013, 39 out of 44 councilors voted for him. Criticism was also repeatedly expressed about the high salaries and their lack of disclosure, which ultimately led to a warning from the responsible authority. In 2018 he was confirmed in office for a third time.
Public criticism
Ebner's self-image as a politician, economic exponent and media owner, who mixes these spheres at will, has repeatedly been the subject of public criticism . Inside the party, for example, the long-time chairman of the SVP's workers' movement, Hubert Frasnelli, called him “Provincial Prince 0”, who repeatedly abused his concentration of power in his own favor. Frasnelli also claimed that Ebner had successfully prevented the establishment of a circle of friends of SVP and SPD in 1992/93 with the help of a press campaign for the daily newspaper Dolomiten, published by Athesia .
