The Legacy of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) - A Dictatorial Party facilitating Abuse of Power, Social Inequality and Neo-Nazi Activities in the Republic of Austria

With national socialist offences by the Austrian FPÖ Party increasing in frequency, the FPÖ Party needs to improve and reinvent itself - also in view of links between the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings and the far-right Identitarian Movement (IBÖ), which is linked to the FPÖ Party. Otherwise the FPÖ Party must be made illegal, as it is Austria's duty to combat the resurgence of neo-Nazi activities by way of law. It should also be noted, that at the World Holocaust Forum in January 2020, which marked 75 years since the liberation of Auschwitz - the former German Nazi death camp where over 1.1 million Jews were murdered - survivors issued a warning against a new wave of anti-Semitic violence in Europe. And in an exclusive interview with 'The Times of Israel', President Reuven Rivlin chastised Eastern and Central European governments that glorify Nazi collaborators as national heroes and downplay their citizens' complicity in anti-Jewish atrocities. At the same time, he slammed populist right-wing politicians in Europe who campaign on xenophobic and anti-Semitic platforms, in an apparent reference to parties such as Austria's Freedom Party, the FPÖ Party. Evidence-based research also indicates that the FPÖ Party is responsible for neo-Nazi activities and hate speech in Austria, by exploiting negative cultural identity issues in Austria - such as anti-Semitism, ethnocentrism and authoritarianism. It must also be emphasized, that the FPÖ Party's founder was Anton Reinthaller, a former Nazi functionary and SS officer. Hence the FPÖ Party should change its name, to get away from the Nazi stigma - which might be beneficial for the FPÖ Party to get more far-right voters, but is actually very damaging to the FPÖ Party and to Austria's reputation at large. So perhaps the FPÖ leaders can all just swallow their pride and show some 'Zivilcourage' and change the name of the party, so that Anton Reinthaller's negative legacy - who was a former Nazi functionary and SS officer - no longer stains and tarnishes the party. Such a change of name by the FPÖ Party would finally make the Freedom Party truly 'free' of any Nazi links. It is also important to emphasise, that the FPÖ Party is responsible for neo-Nazi activities in the Republic of Austria, and hence a disgrace to the International Community. It should also be noted, that the FPÖ Party's contribution to global peacebuilding and human rights work is absolute zero.
