Anton Hofreiter: Set clear signs against right -wing extremism in Europe

After a terrifying election victory of the right -wing populist FPÖ in Austria, urgent need for action is required! Anton Hofreiter from the Bündnis 90/The Greens party raises his voice and warns urgently: "We must never get used to the fact that right -wing extremists and right -wing populists in Europe get the votes!" In a captivating interview with Phoenix, he clearly explains that the FPÖ is pursuing a clear right -wing extremist agenda and whose guide Herbert Kickl does not have anything good.

But what is behind the dangerous statements of the FPÖ? Hofreiter denounces the dangerous concept of "remigration" - a deceptive euphemism that means nothing other than the deportation of people! "This term illustrates where the wind is blowing from," he warns, making the threatening currents within the party unmistakably clear.

right -wing extremism on the rise!

The concerned truth: Right -wing extremism has apparently gained a foothold in large parts of society! The reasons for this are diverse, and Hofreiter sees the devastating effect of social media propaganda and the general crisis situation as the main factors that play the extreme right into the hands. "Fear leads to people choose authoritarians and right -wing parties," said Hofreiter with alarming clarity.

And that's not all! Hofreiter clearly speaks for a ban on the AfD, provided that its implementation does not result in a year. "The AfD clearly shows right -wing radical ideas - we experience this every day in the Bundestag. Its goal seems to be the abolition of democracy and the disgrace of our constitution." But he continues to warn: the time up to a possible ban could drag on for years. "If it is decided quickly and clearly, I decide!"

The explosive discussion about right -wing extremism and the role of the AfD will gain intensity! The fight against these dangerous currents is anything but ended, and political actors have to face the challenge.
