The establishment has committed itself to “fighting against the right” and allowing people from the left to the extreme left to define who or what is considered “right.” The FPO wishes to end this unfortunate activity and has now launched a targeted campaign against Left Wing Extremism. The goal: Make the strategy, actors and their contacts visible – and disclose their financing. Christian Hafenaker, Secretary General of the FPÖ, started this week with the first parliamentary questions: First of all, this concerns the activities of the DOW and the FIPU.
Yesterday, on Wednesday, FPÖ Secretary General Christian Hafenaker and FPÖ constitutional spokeswoman Susanne Fürst presented the autumn offensive against left-wing extremism at a press conference – you can listen to the related FPÖ podcast here:
Campaign against left-wing extremism: launch and parliamentary questions about DÖW and FIPU
Looking at the stable survey results of the FPO over the months, a clear dynamic can be seen in the left spectrum. On the one hand, it is driven by well-known media heroes and, on the other hand, it can also be felt and measured in social networks.
upper austrian one “Action Plan Against Extremism” Which once again makes visible the massive political bias of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, as well as the order from the Interior Ministry to the far-left Documentation Archive of the Austrian Resistance (DÖW) to prepare an annual “rights” . “Left Wing Extremism Report” was the trigger for a broader initiative and counter-attack on the subject of “Left Wing Extremism”.
Over the years, the third camp has faced constant attacks that always come from the same corners. It has long since reached the point where patriotic civil society, but also alternative media, have acquired enough research power and reach to get things back on track.
The FPÖ’s secretary general, Christian Hafenaker, will act as the public face on the matter and is launching a series of parliamentary questions to all ministries this week. The emphasis of the questions is on funding left-wing radical and left-wing extremist institutions and individuals, while the explanatory text of the questions aims to bring the protagonists “into the spotlight” as well as build networks and collaborations. The public among various associations and institutions.
Christian Hefenecker discusses:
“The first step in this campaign is to make the strategy and actors visible, putting them in the limelight, disclosing their funding and proving their connections. It may no longer be acceptable that left-wing activists and sometimes extremists in Austria decide who is to be regarded as a ‘right-wing extremist’ in Austria.
The series of inquiries begins with a review of the activities of the DÖW and the FIPU. DOW, whose activities can be described with the terms “private Stasi”, “communist cover organization” and “polyp-like organization”, as confirmed by a decision of the Higher Regional Court of Vienna on May 4, 1998 , has been closely cooperating for many years with the “Research Group” of the Institute called “The Ideology and Politics of Inequality (FIPU)”. This institute publishes pseudoscientific right wing extremism theories from the pen of left wing fundamentalists.
A central figure in both organizations is the political scientist Dr. Bernhard Weidinger, whose links with the violent Antifa camp are documented in the parliamentary question. Other FIPU protagonists – such as Weidinger – are also old acquaintances from the dusty DÖW surroundings, for example Andreas Pehm aka (“fake doctor”) Heribert Scheidel. But Bianca Kampf and Florian Zeller also appear in the employee overview of both organizations. “Standard” activist Markus Sulzbacher also has ties to the mainstream media, appearing as a writer for FIPU alongside former KPO candidate Judith Goetz.
Starting this week, the FPO will send inquiries to successive ministries, highlighting individuals and institutions that are active as “right-wing extremism manufacturers”. The project is based on the book of the same name published by Freilich Magazine (Recherche Osterreich, Die Reichsextremismus-Macher). Furthermore, the widespread willingness to use violence that is typical of the left-wing extremist camp – the keyword “Hammer gang” – has also been shown by antifa groups operating in Austria.
