Wien.
In Austria, a train is sonicated while driving with a Hitler speech. The outrage is great, but it is not an isolated case.
On a train to Wien the public address system suddenly seems to go haywire on Sunday: Shortly before St. Pölten, the whoops of the well-known TV and train station voice Chris Lohner can be heard, after the stop a Hitler speech and finally some “Sieg-Heil” and ” Heil-Hitler” shouts through the wagons.
The indignation is great, the incident is being investigated. According to initial findings, the perpetrators did not “hack” into the train digitally, but manually opened a micro-system, placed a mobile phone next to the microphone, turned it up and spread their stored messages. Nevertheless, things are brewing, because the incident on the Westbahn fits into an overall picture. Apparently it wasn’t the first such incident on a train. on the part of Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) it was said that two men had been reported. Details of the perpetrators and motives are not known.
Austria: Right-wing extremists are the greatest danger in the country
Austria’s security services are now assuming that the greatest threat to the rule of law comes from right-wing extremist groups. Little attention was paid to the phenomenon for many years. In fact, the right-wing extremist scene in Austria as a rather humble bunch of aging basement Nazis who had a few hooligans around them. The right-wing FPÖ covered the ideological mainstream of the scene.
In these non-parliamentary circles, Austria was more of a retreat or a place for the procurement of weapons. The finds of weapons in recent years have been considerable: entire arsenals of war equipment and tons of ammunition have been dug up. They were also intended for Germans neo-nazis and Reich citizens. However, the recently presented report by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution also states that right-wing extremist propagandists could have introduced their constitution-threatening ideas to sections of society that had previously been inaccessible “through systematic attempts at appropriation of the protest” – for example against corona measures.
Radical ideas have seeped into society. The fact that this is the case is due to the rampant disenchantment with politics due to endless corruption affairs and the fact that one parliamentary party has sat down massively on the wave of anger of the Corona deniers: the FPÖ. According to surveys, it is currently 30 percent, making it by far the strongest party in the country – despite or precisely because of statements like those made by party leader Herbert Kickl recently on the subject of migration: “Let’s do it like Orban.” Or because of actions like to the inaugural speech by Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen, when there was demonstratively no applause for the words: “Never again National Socialism.”
