Political tensions in Innsbruck: arrest according to party building attacks

in Innsbruck were arrested in a remarkable incident that six people were suspected of having acted in connection with property damage to party buildings. The police put the damage on a high five -digit euro amount. These arrests, which according to the officials represent a reaction to alleged criminal activities, led to a rally by the Innsbruck anti -repression group, which sharply criticized the treatment of the suspects and the measures of the police.

Such a development is not common. On September 26, 2024, the police carried out several house searches in which not only apartments, but also a restaurant called "Il Corvo" were targeted. The suspects, between the ages of 26 and 37 and come from Austria, Italy and Germany, were released a short time later after being interrogated and examined for their DNA. The group is accused of having repeatedly damaged party buildings in Innsbruck since March 2024, including the headquarters of the ÖVP and the Citizens' Office of the FPÖ.

Criticism of the police's approach

In a public statement, the anti -repression group expressed its displeasure with massive police measures. At the early morning hours, not only several people were arrested, but the police also used specially trained units to carry out the searches. The group described the attacks as disproportionate, especially since the allegations of the formation of a criminal association are based on property damage of low financial relevance. " The criminal association is constructed on the basis of some property damage, and that is already from 5,000 euros in damage ," criticized a spokesman.

The protest group was launched in 2021 to fight for state attacks on political activists. They consider the recent police measures as a political blow against left -wing movements and are committed to supporting those affected. The group emphasizes the allegations that the police will spread an atmosphere of fear and the activists criminalize. In further attacks in the region, the anti -repression group appeals that cohesion is necessary to counteract the impending split.

These incidents not only trigger legal, but also social discussions that revolve around the dealings with political statements and space that activism in our society. The topic will also play a role in future rallies and discourses.
