Walter Rosary: Controversy about FPÖ candidacy for National Council President
in Vienna is the choice for the Presidium of the National Council, and the FPÖ candidate, Walter Rosary, causes heated discussions. On Thursday, the 183 MPs vote for the office of the first President of the National Council, and the opportunities of Rosenkranz, which is regarded as a right -wing extremist, should not be underestimated. This nomination has made numerous voices of concern loud. Jewish organizations and left -wing groups warn that rosary is a threat to the Jewish community in Austria.
In particular, the President of the Jewish Austrian University: Inside, Alon Ishay, clear concerns: "A right-wing extremist FPÖ-Burschässchaffer like Walter Roskranz as the President of the National Council endangers the Jewish future in Austria." Ishay also criticizes the possibility of transferring rosary in the National Fund for the victims of National Socialism, as this is a disrespect for the victims and their descendants.
resistance to the nomination
The human rights organization SOS Mismensch follows the concerns and asks the other parties not to agree to the nomination. Alexander Pollak, the spokesman for the organization, describes Rosenkranz as politically provocative and as someone who should not be considered for one of the highest offices in a democracy if he can be associated with right -wing extremism.
MPs from the SPÖ have already decided not to take a uniform position against the nomination of rosary, and the NEOS also does not affect a rejecting sound. The Greens, on the other hand, clearly speak against the election of a FPÖ politician to the highest office of the National Council.
On the other hand, third National Council President Norbert Hofer commented on the defense of Rosenkranz. He gives the allegations of the Jewish representatives and from SOS Mismensch a "political agitation without any basis" and emphasizes the sound political experience of rosary. Hofer emphasizes that the rosary is a democrat who has always campaigned for parliamentaryism.In his memory speech to the turquoise-blue government, Hofer Rosenkranz praises his role in improving relations between Austria and Israel, including his participation in the Shoah monument and the simplification of access to citizenship for the descendants of Nazi victims
