“It is an unbelievable scandal that liberal representatives at the University of Vienna are threatened with violence and that left-wing extremist activists are trying to expel them from democratically legitimized committees,” says the Viennese FPÖ club chairman and youth spokesman Maximilian Krauss, horrified by the current incidents.
“These attacks are not only a targeted attempt to silence critical voices, but also a massive attack on freedom of expression and democracy on our universities. Anyone who works with threats of violence and intimidation is clearly going against the basic values of our society,” said Krauss.
The FPÖ Vienna therefore calls for a clear condemnation of these anti-democratic events by all party leaders as well as measures by the University of Vienna against left-wing extremist activities. “It is the task of the university management to ensure that the universities remain a place of free exchange and democracy – and not a playground for left-wing extremist violent fantasies.”
