FPÖ regulars' table ensures scandal: sharp attacks on ÖVP and EU!

Wien-Simmering, Österreich - Last week, an FPö regulars' table in Simmering caused violent controversy. At the meeting, which took place on January 8, FPÖ National Council Member like Harald Stefan and Markus Tschank commented on the ÖVP, refugees and the EU in sharp tones. According to a report of the DerStandard , Stefan gave the ÖVP a "government ban" and described it as "horny of power", which made immediate reactions from the opposition. Particularly piquant: Stefan and Tschank accused the EU to be an “madness” and discussed a possible abolition of international agreements to bring migrants back to their countries of origin.

criticism and violent reactions

The statements produced sharp convictions on the part of the SPÖ and Greens. Klaus Rareheim, SPÖ federal manager, spoke of "hatred and aggression", which the FPÖ revealed in their current statements. Green chairman Werner Kogler also criticized the free and warned that the FPÖ Austria wanted to lead to isolation, in particular through their considerations to exit EU as a threat to the community. Kogler emphasized that the FPÖ is not only looking for support in extreme positions in the EU, but also build bridges to the Taliban, which further reinforcements the concerns about their political orientation, as in the article by SN was emphasized.

In the FPÖ itself, the media reporting was reacted to. A party spokeswoman said that the statements were exaggerated and to understand in the right context. The Viennese FPÖ chairman Dominik Nepg vehemently turned against the critical reports and described the press as the "shit sheet". These riots during the regulars' table and the subsequent reactions of the party leadership clearly show how tense the political atmosphere in Austria is currently. The effects of this incident therefore retain a high level of relevance for the coming weeks.
