On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Mauthausen concentration camp against violence and racism on May 5, SPÖ federal party chairman, Vice-Chancellor Andreas Babler and SPÖ federal manager Klaus DASHEIM: “The hatred of Jews led to the greatest crime of human history. Responsibility, hate and agitation, exclusion and violence, anti -Semitism and racism to counteract with all the day for a fair and pluralistic society. The SPÖ stands for democracy, freedom and fundamental rights, says Babler. Rare home emphasizes the SPÖ press service on Monday: “Never again! That is our responsibility and our duty. Each of us is challenged not to look away and show civil courage in everyday life.” ****
Democracy and freedom are not a matter of course, but also questioned by all politicians who want to abolish human rights, question the rule of law or want to restrict the freedom of the press, according to Babler, who emphasizes: “Remembrance is not just a look back, but a look for the future. It means teaching the teachings from the past and doing everything so that the atrocities do not repeat themselves from the Nazi era.”
In particular, the greatly increased number of right -wing extremists and anti -Semitic incidents from property damage to attacks on Jews are a reminder and mandate to stand up against racism and anti -Semitism and to take concrete measures to protect our democracy. “The federal government has set a whole range of measures in the government program: A national action plan is drawn up against right -wing extremism, every year a right -wing extremism report is presented and democratic formation is anchored as a mandatory subject at school,” said Babler. With the “Mein-Zeitung-ABO” quality media are strengthened and fake news combats and with an entire package of measures we put a stop to online radicalization. In addition, anti-Semitism and extremism research is expanded and there will be training courses for teachers and the police, said Babler. (Conclusion) BJ/LS
