Rudolf Anschober fights against shitstorm: It will be expensive for some!
Former Health Minister Rudolf Anschober is once again causing a stir. On Wednesday, February 6, 2025, he posted a selfie on Facebook during his train ride to Germany and announced a "big new project" for the end of April that his page followers should be excited about. But the ex-minister's anticipation was quickly dampened by a shitstorm. Numerous negative comments and insults followed, while critics particularly attacked his previous Corona policy. Anschober countered sharply and left no doubt that he would not allow himself to be driven out: “I will definitely not let idiots drive me out of my homeland,” he made it clear, as well exxpress.at reported.
Legal action announced
Anschober reacted immediately to the attacks and announced legal action. He said his lawyer was already reviewing the abuse and warned: "It will be expensive for some." According to Anschober, almost 700 users left hate comments against him on his Facebook page the day before alone. He also promised to monitor the distribution of his postings more closely: "We're also looking at who keeps sending my postings to the haters. (...) We'll figure it out, and that too will be very expensive - also politically," he said 5min.at reported.
