Schneedlitz criticizes ÖVP: Iran discussion becomes a risk of security!

Österreich - The constitutional protection report of the Interior Ministry, which is under the leadership of the ÖVP, ensures considerable concern in the Austrian political landscape. NABG. Michael Schledlitz, the FPÖ's home protection spokesman, critically commented on the lack of sources in the report and questioned the seriousness of the statements on the threat of Iran. He called for clear answers from the Ministry of the Interior on the topic of the Iranian nuclear weapons program and asked the question of whether an inspection of the Iranian nuclear facilities took place. Schledlitz described the situation as embarrassing, stupid and dangerous for Austria, which further fueled the political discussion.

The claim that Iran already has nuclear weapons is particularly explosive. According to a report of the Spiegel are the progress of Iran in nuclear technology. Shadows on international cooperation to contain nuclear weapons proliferation. Schledlitz sees the political proximity of the boss of the German Security Service, DSN, to the ÖVP as problematic and demanded resignation from high-ranking politicians, including Karner and Haijawi-Pirchner. He accused the ÖVP to present a security risk for Austria.

criticism of the security authorities

The criticism of Schledlitz is directed not only against the content of the constitutional protection report, but also against the transparency and reliability of the responsible security authorities. He calls for a fundamental reassessment of the security situation and a stronger control of proliferation questions that affect not only Austria, but the whole world. He also referred to the need for expert sources to ensure the view of an effective security guideline.

The risk of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear technologies, is a global security risk. In a brochure of the Constitutional protection are addressed by the various aspects of proliferation. This includes atomic, biological and chemical mass destruction weapons that are seen as a threat to world peace. The spread of such technologies can cause an uncontrollable surface burn, which underlines the urgency of the topic.

future of the security policy debate

The discussion about the security situation in Austria and the threats from states such as Iran are further cheered on by the recent statements of Schledlitz. It remains to be seen whether and how the Ministry of the Interior will react to the demands and which measures are taken to strengthen national and international security architecture. The topic is not only important locally, but also indicates responsibility that states have severe proliferation risks towards international peace.
