Scandal in parliament: Marchetti demands the end of right -wing extremism!

On April 24, 2025, a controversial statement by the FPÖ MP Wurm in the Austrian Parliament caused excitement. Wurm used the controversial term "reclassification", which is often used by the right -wing extremist "identity movement". The General Secretary of the People's Party, Nico Marchetti, sharply criticized this choice of words and called for consequences for Wurm because he found the integration of nationalist and right -wing extremist rhetoric into society. Marchetti accused FPÖ boss Kickl not to distance himself from worms, but even to donate this applause.

Marchetti also described the behavior of the National Council President Rosenkranz as unacceptable because he did not intervene. He expressed serious doubts about the rosary's skills to adequately meet the office of the National Council President, and asked him to perceive his responsibility and to set clear limits.

The identity movement in focus

The "Identitarian Movement" is a group that is known as a branch of the right -wing extremist Bloc Identity from France. She has been active in Germany and Austria since around 2012. Her central leitmotif is the "fight against the big exchange", a theory that says that the German people should be replaced by foreigners and migrants. Daniel Fiß, a 23-year-old political science student and deputy press spokesman for this movement, describes the group as a counter offer for the supposed cultural hegemony, which he sees in the left-liberal spectrum. Identitarians propagate ethnopluralism and demand a return to national identity and tradition.

The origin of the Identity Movement is in France, where the Bloc identity was founded in 2003. This group leads both anti -Islam and racist positions, which they pack through pop cultural approaches. German security authorities have classified the movements as a "virtual appearance of right -wing extremism" and see their influence in real space until 2016. Actions, such as the occupation of public places or provocations such as wearing Burkas in public, are part of their strategy.

Criticism and demarcation

It emphasizes that the identity movement deliberately delimits itself from the National Socialist ideology and does not take up any members who are committed to this ideology. Nevertheless, the critical perception of the group is entitled to integrate right -wing extremist rhetoric into public discourse even, considering their obvious attempts. The General Secretary of the People's Party, Nico Marchetti, sees this as part of a larger strategy that also includes the acceptance of right -wing extremist terms in political space.

Overall, the current debate about the use of language in politics and the spread of right -wing extremist ideologies illustrates the fragility of political discourse in today's society. Marchetti's demand for a clear delimitation of extremist views could be of great importance in this regard.
