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

In the Austrian 2017 elections the FPOE party gained 26% of the vote, and entered government as a partner of the winner OEVP with its chancellor Sebastian Kurz. 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 and Islamophobia, the FPOE incites hatred against immigrants and refugees in Austria. With national socialist offences by the FPOE increasing in frequency, the FPOE party 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 party must be made illegal; as it is Austria's duty to combat the resurgence of neo-Nazi activities by way of law. Critical, but also deeply sensitive and humane, this book explores social scientific and ethical approaches so that human dignity and human decency can be restored in the Republic of Austria.
