The Legacy of Heinz-Christian Strache and the FPOE Party - A Dictatorial Party facilitating Ethnocentrism, Islamophobia and Violation of Human Rights in the Republic of Austria

Bok av Dr. Mark O'Doherty
In the Austrian 2017 elections the FPOE Party gained 26% of the vote, and entered government with the OEVP. Since then the FPOE has orchestrated rule of law violations in Austria; including the violation of freedom of press, expression and of belief. Propagating hate speech, the FPOE incites hatred against immigrants and refugees in Austria. With national socialist offences by the FPOE increasing in frequency, the FPOE needs to improve and reinvent itself - also in view of links between the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings and the far-right Identitarian Movement in Austria (IBOE) and its extremist leader Martin Sellner. Otherwise the FPOE must be made illegal; as it is Austria's duty to combat the resurgence of neo-Nazi activities by way of law. Social challenges - such as abuse of power, corruption and solidarity deficit within the FPOE - are also explored in this evidence-based study. It should also be noted, that the FPOE Party's contribution to global gender equality and global peacebuilding is absolute zero!
