A moving commemoration: Hannes Kopfreiter is honored!

Amstetten, Österreich - In Amstetten it is currently bubbling! The FPÖ raises sharp allegations against the local city government, which has introduced a multi-day, mandatory training program for leisure and child supervisors. "No submission to foreign cultures! Integration through assimilation would be the right way," commented Alexander Schnabel, the FPÖ district chairman. On four seminar days, topics such as intercultural understanding and religious diversity are to be treated. Schnabel sees a great provocation in the appointment of a Hijab wearer as a course instructor: "This path is certainly doomed to failure," he also explains, and calls for a return to your own traditions. ots.at reported .
