Again “brown individual case” at FPÖ Niederösterreich

In the vicinity of the municipal elections in Lower Austria, several FPÖ candidates and candidates have been targeted by right-wing extremists or suspicion of National Socialist re-activation. The new case of a FPÖ candidate sentenced in the daily newspaper “Der Standard” on the “The Standard” platform and in the daily newspaper “The Standard” for the first instance for activity of Nazi again, joins the FPÖ’s “Individual case” list.

“The handling of the Lower Austrian FPÖ with the ‘brown individual cases’ is the almost larger scandal than the cases itself. – if only after massive pressure – only half -hearted distances of the disgusting statements and also no self -criticism in the original selection of the Candidate: inside. It is watched and covered up – and if there are personal consequences at all, you criticize public pressure and show no insight. In FPÖ Lower Austria, it is obviously becoming more and more normal that people can even run as listeners who openly celebrate Adolf Hitler’s birthday with egg-baked postings or spread neo-Nazi videos, ”comments Lukas Hammer, right-wing extremism spokesman for the Greens, the processes in The FPÖ Lower Austria.

Before the municipal council election there was already a scandal about FPÖ candidate: inside in Gänserndorf. After that, her FPÖ district chairman did not criticize the post of Hitler worship or gas chamber fantasies for the then Minister of Health, but the public pressure on the FPÖ candidate: inside that led to their retreat. Now this week the only FPÖ candidate of the municipality of Hohenberg was convicted of initial instance (not legally) for incitement and National Socialist re-establishment. This case is as shattering and characteristic. In June 2024, Mr. I. is said to have expressed, among other things, that refugees should be “in the oven” and “Tschuschen” and their families in the “Chamber” and is said to have shown a Hitler salute in the end. The presumption of innocence applies.
“This neo-Nazi video did not prevent the FPÖ from making Mr. I. shortly afterwards as their candidate for the municipal council election. So, in contrast to the authorities, nobody in the party was interested in the social media appearance of its only candidate in the community, or the party accepts such content as long as there is no conviction, ”said Hammer.

“After a long time watching, the coping strategy of the FPÖ district organization was limited to exchanging a Facebook photo the day after her candidate was convicted and cutting away the man. This is just more pathetic and shows how the FPÖ deals with its brownland, ”indulge in hammer and further:
“The ÖVP in Lower Austria has to ask itself once again how it can be responsible for staying in a coalition with a party in which conflicts of local politicians: Inside with the prohibition law, more and more normalized.”
