Ex-Austrian chancellor found guilty of perjury
Sebastian Kurz has said he will pursue all avenues to reverse the judgement
An Austrian court has found former Chancellor Sebastian Kurz guilty of lying to a parliamentary investigatory committee. The 37 year old was handed an eight-month suspended prison sentence for perjury in a verdict delivered on Friday.
The judgment will not enter into force until all attempts to overturn the conviction have been exhausted. Kurtz said he would appeal the ruling. The case against Kurz opened by Austrian prosecutors more than two years ago focused on statements he made in 2020 to a parliamentary investigative committee probing corruption in his government.
Then Chancellor Kurz was accused of lying after he testified he had not played a decisive role in appointing close confidant Thomas Schmid to run Austria's state holding company OBAG, claiming he was "involved in the sense of informed."
Evidence supplied by prosecutors included leaked text messages and testimony from Schmid, who was a key state witness. The judge said he found Schmid credible and rejected attempts by the defense to present him as unreliable, ruling that Kurz played an active role in the corruption scheme.
"I find this part of the ruling very unfair," Kurz told reporters after it was announced. "We have appealed and I am very optimistic that we will receive a ruling in our favor in the second instance," he added. Kurz, who denies any wrongdoing, told the court before the judgement that the prosecution's accusations had made him feel "terrible" and "helpless."
Becoming one of the youngest leaders in the world at age 31, he served twice as chancellor of Austria - from December 2017 to May 2019 and from January 2020 to October 2021. Both of his governments collapsed following a scandal.
In 2019 a video filmed in Spain emerged showing the leader of Kurz's coalition partner, Heinz-Christian Strache, promising contracts in exchange for campaign support to a woman he believed was the niece of a Russian oligarch.
The resulting fervor toppled Kurz's government, but his party won the next election and he built a new coalition with the Greens. Kurz appeared to have outridden the storm until investigators stumbled on a flurry of leaked text messages from Schmid, showing that the two men had communicated about the position the latter got with OBAG.

Sebastian Kurz to quit as Austrian chancellor due to corruption inquiry
Coalition partner, the Green party, demanded Kurz go after prosecutors announced investigation
The Austrian chancellor, Sebastian Kurz, said on Saturday that he plans to step down in an effort to defuse a government crisis triggered by prosecutors' announcement that he is a target of a corruption investigation.
Kurz, 35, said he has proposed that the foreign minister, Alexander Schallenberg, be his replacement. Kurz himself plans to become the head of his Austrian People's party's parliamentary group.

His party had closed ranks behind him after the prosecutors' announcement on Wednesday. But its junior coalition partner, the Greens, said on Friday that Kurz couldn't remain as chancellor and demanded that his party nominate an "irreproachable person" to replace him. The coalition government took office in January 2020.
The Greens' leader, vice-chancellor Werner Kogler, welcomed Kurz's decision as "a right and important step."
"This means that we can continue our work in government," he said.
"What we need now are stable conditions," Kurz told reporters in Vienna. "So, in order to resolve the stalemate, I want to make way to prevent chaos and ensure stability."
Kurz and his close associates are accused of trying to secure his rise to the leadership of his party and the country with the help of manipulated polls and friendly reports in the media, financed with public money. Kurz, who became the People's party leader and then chancellor in 2017, has denied wrongdoing and until Saturday made clear he planned to stay on.
The Greens said the probe created a "disastrous" impression. In a separate case, anti-corruption authorities put Kurz under investigation in May on suspicion of making false statements to a parliamentary commission, an allegation he also rejected.
Opposition leaders had called for Kurz to go and planned to bring a no-confidence motion against him Tuesday in parliament.
In Saturday's statement, Kurz insisted again that the accusations against him "are false and I will be able to clear this up - I am deeply convinced of that".
He said he will keep his party's leadership as well as becoming its parliamentary group leader.
Kurz's first coalition with the far-right Freedom party collapsed in 2019. The chancellor pulled the plug after a video surfaced showing the Freedom party's leader at the time, Heinz-Christian Strache, appearing to offer favours to a purported Russian investor.
Austria's next regular parliamentary election is due in 2024.

Q Research General #8481: Shifting Into Night Gear Edition
Fake Oligarchs And Russian Interference In Austrian Politics. Who Was Really Behind "Operation Strache"?
The publication discrediting Austrian Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache and Johann Gudenus, former deputy leader of the Freedom Party was published on May 17th in German outlets Suddeutsche Zeitung and der Spiegel.
The publication included a video allegedly showing his coversation with 'Russia-linked' persons. The reports claimed that he was offering German contracts to an alleged Russian benefactor in return for 'Russian investitions and support'. The video also included a woman that was described by media as a niche (or daughter - depending on the version) of some Russian oligarch.
On the next day, Strache announced his resignation from the post of vice-chancellor of Austria and leader of the Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ).
Just hours later, in the evening, Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurtz announced the disband of the coalition government between his Austrian People's Party and the FPÖ.
On May 20th, another German outlet, Cicero.de published an article named "Was it Mossad?" by a former career diplomat, Rudolf Adam, who was the deputy director of the German intelligence service, known as the BND.
An article by a former German secret service official meant that the BND tried to disown the political scandal in Austria, pointing to another possible culprit - the Israeli intelligence Mossad.
Adam provided a number of arguments attempting to prove that the Israelis did it:
The preparation of the living room, terrace and kitchen in a villa in Ibiza for secret video surveillance and recording could only be carried out by competent experts from the security services. "In total, at least two cameras were hidden in the living room. Both cameras moved. The frame and focus were set by an external operator."
The recording of the compromising material on Strache and Gudenus was carried out in July 2017 - a few months before the Austrian elections, but it wasn't revealed until May 2019, shortly before the next European Parliament elections. That meant this was allegedly a long-planned operation.
The operation was carefully planned, prepared with the highest professionalism and then completed. The action was prepared and carried out with great financial and organizational efforts. It was carried out by task-oriented special service professionals who are well versed in operational art.
What state could be behind this? None of the European intelligence services can do something like that. And the USA? US intelligence agencies are fully engaged in Korea, Iran and China. President Donald Trump's political sympathies are likely to be on the side of Strache and the FPÖ. Russia? No: "Both politicians were perhaps idiots from a Moscow point of view, but very useful idiots." China or special services from the Arab world are probably not interested in Austrian domestic politics.
There remains only one state with human and technical abilities for such an operation and with unambiguous motives - this is Israel. In Israel and in Jewish communities in Europe, fear of growing anti-Semitism, painted in the colors of national socialism, is growing. Israel has an interest in the EU pursuing a policy friendly to Israel. This line has so far been controversial among EU members.
What proves that Israel would be the organizer? "They hit FPÖ and its two leaders. Both personify the course that connects deep-seated anti-Semitism with the justification of national socialist crimes. The Jewish Cultural Community of Austria and the Government of Israel refuse any contact with the FPÖ."
The reason for the publication of compromising materials could be the upcoming elections to the European Parliament and the desire to prevent the success of right-wing national parties and the possibility of their association in the European Parliament. Initial polls predicted that the FPÖ could win 30% of the vote, now it only won 7%.

German Ex-Spy Chief: Mossad Behind Video Leak That Led to Austria Gov't Collapse
Austrian politics has been rocked by "Ibiza-gate" allegations that the country's vice chancellor was discussing the possibility of a foreign citizen investing into a local newspaper in exchange for favourable media coverage.
Rudolf Adam, a former diplomat and deputy head of Germany's Federal Intelligence Service, claims that the scandal that turned Austria's politics upside down was orchestrated by Israeli secret services.
Writing for the political magazine Cicero, Adam argues that the plan to bring down Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache with an explosive video leak was unlikely to have been hatched by the United States, which is currently "fully occupied with Korea, Iran and China".
Nor could be Russia behind the "political assassination", as Adam puts it, given that the now-former vice chancellor had been advocating closer ties with Moscow.
No European service "could and should" do such a thing, Adam maintains, while China and the Arab countries appear to have little interest in Austrian domestic politics.
"All that remains is a state that has the human and technical capacities for such an operation and a clear motive: Israel," he continues.
Rufold Adam, who has worked in German embassies in Moscow and in London, points out that Jewish communities in Europe are afraid of a rise in anti-Semitic sentiment and Holocaust denial, which could pose an existential threat to the State of Israel.
He claims that Strache embodies "deep-seated anti-Semitism" and a "trivialisation" of Nazi atrocities, so Israel had to react.
"Israel has a survival interest in the EU pursuing an Israel-friendly policy. This line has already been controversial among EU members. A triumph of political parties close to the FPO could initiate a turnaround here and bring the EU as a whole into a more Israel-critical line," he claims.
Ironically enough, Adam himself was accused of anti-Semitism following the publication of his opinion piece.
According to Israeli newspaper Ynetnews, the Conference of European Rabbis (CER), the foremost Rabbinical alliance in Europe, said that the attempt to blame Israel for Strache's downfall is "reminiscent of classic anti-Semitism" and cannot be ignored.

Q Research General #8442: Victory Sounds in UK and Europe Edition
Requesting a summary briefing from a knowledgeable anon regarding the current situation in Austrian politics.
It was incredibly stupid of these guys for screwing things up for themselves. Would appreciate opinion as to whether situation is salvageable.
https://www.euronews.com/2019/05/20/corruption-probe-a-blow-for-far-right-parties-ahead-of-eu-elections
Austria is bracing itself for fresh elections after a corruption scandal embroiling the far right brought down the coalition government. Secretly filmed footage emerged over the weekend appearing to show the now former vice-chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache offering lucrative public contracts in exchange for campaign support. The footage seems to show Strache dealing in public contracts to a woman pretending to be the niece of a Russian oligarch.
Strache has apologised and resigned but denied doing anything illegal. He blamed his actions on alcohol and acting as a youngster, saying his behaviour had been stupid and irresponsible. He also added was leaving office to avoid further damage to the government.
In response, Chancellor Sebasian Kurz called a snap election and defended his decision to enter a coalition with the far right in the first place. The chancellor also said if there was abuse of power, those responsible should be thoroughly investigated. He said: "What's important now - and this is the highest order - is to ensure total clearing up. All suspicions that have arisen due to the video must be investigated. Those of course range from issues like the potential abuse of power, all the way to questions of possible criminal relevance."
Austria's President Alexander van der Bellen said on Sunday that: "All of us who serve the republic must now exclusively concentrate on rebuilding trust. This rebuilding, this new beginning should happen quickly". He added: "everything must be done to restore trust in officeholders, in the representatives of the people".
This is a blow for European far-right parties as they were expecting to make gains in the EU elections later this week. In Austria, politicians were quick to distance themselves from the Austrian Freedom Party and other European far-right groupings will be watching the Austrian Freedom Party's next steps very closely.
The Freedom Party is one of Europe's best-established populist parties and has often obtained over 20% of the share of the vote in Austria. It has taken part in coalitions to serve in office in 2002 and again in 2009.

I can't tell what the hell is going on in Austria.
Anybody got a short summary?
https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2019-05-27/austrias-kurz-faces-likely-ouster-in-no-confidence-vote
VIENNA (Reuters) - Austria's parliament appeared all but certain to sack Chancellor Sebastian Kurz on Monday after lawmakers from the far-right Freedom Party (FPO) agreed to support a motion of no-confidence in his caretaker government.
Kurz's conservatives came out on top in Sunday's European Parliament election, a week after a video sting scandal prompted far-right Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache to step down and Kurz to scrap the coalition between their parties.
FPO leader Strache resigned from all his political posts after the footage, which appeared to show him discussing fixing government contracts, was published by two German media outlets.
Kurz hopes to use the caretaker administration as a springboard for re-election, presenting himself as more of a victim of the political crisis set off by the video than an enabler of it who brought the far right to power.
But with the next parliamentary election expected in September, opposition parties say Kurz must share the blame.
Two no-confidence motions, one against Kurz and the other against both him and his government, are planned in parliament on Monday.
Meeting before a debate due to begin at 1 p.m., FPO lawmakers unanimously agreed to support the latter motion, being submitted by the Social Democrats (SPO), FPO deputy Walter Rauch told reporters. Other FPO lawmakers confirmed the decision.
The SPO have 52 seats and the FPO 51 in the 183-seat lower house of parliament, easily giving them in combination the majority required for the motion to pass. Austria's president would then have to nominate a new chancellor to put together a caretaker government able to last until the next election.
While lawmakers decided in the morning how they would vote in the afternoon session, Vienna prosecutors said they were investigating "in multiple directions" in relation to the sting video, but declined to provide further details.
In the European elections, voters gave Kurz's People's Party (OVP) a larger share of support than in Austria's parliamentary election of 2017.
"Parliament will have its say on Monday," Kurz said on Facebook, describing the other parties' behavior as a "game of revenge".
"But at the end of the day the people will decide, namely in September," he added.

I usually never criticize patriotic Right-Wing politicians ("No enemy on the Right"), but… still, today, we've seen a disaster happen, because of the naive, vulnerable Austrian vice-chancellor. Sad! We thought this man was one of us, a serious honest patriotic man, but… he was weak, got played like a virgin! Confused
For this man, Strache, has fallen victim (two years ago but it was revealed today so as to maximize damages before the EE elections) to a ridiculous, Ibiza-set honey trap. Dodgy
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/…pa-reports
So, well, one should be careful of such obvious honeypot entrapment. As a Conservative politician or businessman in particular, one can be assured that the Establishment will try all kinds of entrapments… so, beware!
The blonde Ibiza chick Dodgy who trapped him (showing tons of thighs), is a false Russian niece of oligarch, and in actual fact, she reportedly is an Ukrainian bitch working for Khodorkovski.
"Austrian Vice-Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache - leader of the right-wing, anti-immigration Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs (FPÖ or Freedom Party) - announced Saturday that he was stepping down following the release of a controversial video.
German-language media outlet Der Spiegel published video of Strache Friday night. In the footage, filmed secretly in Ibiza, Spain, in July 2017, months before he was named to the Vice-Chancellor position, Strache and others reportedly discussed how a Russian investor could obtain Austrian government contracts.
Among the suggestions offered in the video was the idea of this supposed Russian investor acquiring control of popular Austria paper Kronen Zeitung and using its reach to (fight alt-left journalism) push FPÖ's agenda to the public. In exchange, the investor could receive favorable treatment.
Strache denied any wrongdoing Saturday, but said he was stepping down from both the Vice-Chancellorship and as FPÖ leader because of revealed acts he now deemed "stupid, irresponsible and a mistake," according to the Washington Post."

It mars a day that should have been fine for us worldwide patriots, as the Conservatives have splendidly won in Australia. Banana But in Austria, it's a catastrophe, a carefully-engineered catastrophe… unless, unless - if the snap elections give an even better score to the FPO!

Austrian Government Collapses After Far Right Leader Caught in Video Sting
The far-right Freedom Party's Heinz-Christian Strache resigned as vice chancellor and party leader after the video was released by two German news organisations. He acknowledged that the video was 'catastrophic' but denied breaking the law.
Vienna: Austria raced on Saturday towards a snap election as Chancellor Sebastian Kurz pulled the plug on his coalition with the far right after its leader was caught on video offering to fix state contracts with a woman posing as a Russian oligarch's niece.
The far-right Freedom Party's Heinz-Christian Strache resigned as vice chancellor and party leader after the video was released by two German news organisations. He acknowledged that the video was "catastrophic" but denied breaking the law.
Kurz, a conservative who formed a coalition with the Freedom Party a year and a half ago, said the apparent video sting, in which Strache discusses contracts in return for financial or political favours, was the last straw in the relationship.
"After yesterday's video I honestly have to say - enough is enough," Kurz said in a statement to the media, listing various lesser scandals that had previously strained their relations.
Kurz said he was proposing to President Alexander Van der Bellen that a snap election be held as soon as possible. Van der Bellen, who can dissolve parliament, said he backed a snap election and would discuss next steps with Kurz on Sunday.
"These are shameful images and no one should be ashamed for Austria," he said of the video. "We need in this sense to rebuild confidence anew. This rebuilding can in this case only happen with a snap election."
The downfall of the Austrian coalition comes just a week before elections to the European parliament and is a blow to one of the most successful of the anti-immigrant, nationalist parties that have surged across the continent in recent years. The Freedom Party is a major part of a new nationalist grouping that aims to score record gains in the European vote.
The head of the opposition Social Democrats told broadcaster ORF she would not oppose a snap election if a bill calling one were put to parliament.
'Difficult to Swallow'
As Strache announced around midday that he was stepping down, a crowd of thousands with left-wing placards and banners gathered on the square outside Kurz's office, chanting "Snap elections now!". Police estimated their number at 5,000.
Kurz had repeatedly distanced himself from his far right coalition partners over lesser scandals in the past, mostly involving party officials and anti-Semitism or racism - such as one in which the deputy mayor of Hitler's home town wrote a poem likening immigrants to rats.
"For all these successes in the past two years I had to be ready to withstand a lot and also put up with a lot, from the rat poem to the proximity to radical right-wing groups and the 'isolated incidents' that kept coming back," Kurz said.
"There were many situations in which I found it very difficult to swallow all that."
'Catastrophic'
The video showed Strache meeting the woman in 2017, shortly before the election that brought him into government.
Strache, whose party has a cooperation agreement with Russia's ruling United Russia party, described the sting as a "targeted political assassination" and said it never led to any money changing hands. He insisted the only crime that took place was illegally videotaping a private dinner party.
He said he would be replaced as party leader by Transport Minister Norbert Hofer, his deputy, who narrowly lost a 2016 presidential election and is more popular than Strache.
In the footage, Strache discussed rules on party financing and how to work around them, although he also insisted on having to act legally.
"It was dumb, it was irresponsible and it was a mistake," Strache told a news conference, fighting back tears as he asked his wife and others to forgive him.
"In the cold light of day, my remarks were catastrophic and exceedingly embarrassing," he said. He also apologised for flirting with the woman. "It was typical alcohol-fuelled macho behaviour in which, yes, I also wanted to impress the attractive female host and I behaved like a bragging teenager," he said

'Enemies of freedom'? Germany launches anti-rightwing crusade amid Austrian govt crisis
German politicians, including Chancellor Angela Merkel, have rushed to take advantage of the government crisis in neighboring Austria for their own political goals, uniting in a crusade against right-wing forces.
As Austria reels from a scandal involving Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache, which has put the nation on the brink of snap elections, in Germany, politicians and officials of almost all political backgrounds seized the opportunity to demonize 'right-wing populists' ... and teach their neighbors how they should do politics.
"Europe is a union of countries that have decided to cooperate on a basis of common values," Merkel told journalists in the Croatian capital, Zagreb, answering a question about the situation in Austria. "We are dealing with movements, populist movements that despise those values in many aspects and seek to destroy the Europe of our values, so we have to oppose them."

Austrian vice chancellor's resignation a blow to populists ahead of EU vote
Austria's populist vice chancellor resigned Saturday after two German publications showed a video of him apparently offering lucrative government contracts to a potential Russian benefactor at a party in Ibiza.
The resignation of Heinz-Christian Strache was a black eye for the populist and nationalist forces who favor tighter European immigration policies. It came only a few days before the May 23-26 elections in 28 European Union nations to fill the European Parliament.
Standing before journalists and TV cameras in Vienna, Strache announced his resignation without taking questions. He said he was set up in a "political assassination" but added that his behavior in the video was "stupid, irresponsible and a mistake."
The daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung and the weekly Der Spiegel on Friday published extracts of a covert video purportedly showing Strache offering Austrian government contracts to a Russian woman who was allegedly interested in investing large amounts of money in Austria.
The 49-year-old politician said he had been in a state of "increasing alcohol intoxication" and had "behaved like a teenager" in an attempt to "impress the attractive host" at an Ibiza villa.
He said he had had no further contact with the woman and she gave no contributions to his far-right, anti-migrant Freedom Party. He claimed to be a victim of the illegal use of surveillance equipment…….

Austrian Government On Verge Of Collapse After Vice Chancellor Resigns Over Bribery Scandal
Profile picture for user Tyler Durden
by Tyler Durden
Sat, 05/18/2019 - 14:30
In a span of roughly 12 hours, the Austrian government has been brought to the brink of collapse, with reports claiming that snap elections will be held this fall, after the country's Vice Chancellor, the most powerful elected official in the Austrian far-right, resigned in the wake of a corruption scandal.
According to the FT, Heinz-Christian Strache, Austria's vice chancellor and leader of the populist Freedom Party, resigned shortly after Der Spiegel and the Süddeutsche Zeitung published excerpts from hidden video footage where Strache can be heard offering government contracts to an individual purporting to represent a Russian oligarch. In exchange, Strache wanted the oligarch's help to push more votes toward the Freedom Party.
Strache stepped down on Saturday, calling his own actions "dumb" and "embarrassing." The identities of the people who met with Strache weren't immediately clear, and it's unclear where the video came from. Austria's Freedom Party has nominally supported the Kremlin, but Bloomberg wouldn't describe their relationship as close.
Bloomberg said the 17-month-old coalition could be preserved if Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, leader of the center-right Austrian People's Party, accepts Infrastructure Minister Norbert Hofer to replace Strache, according to Austrian media. But there's been speculation that Kurz could use a vote as an opportunity to dump the Freedom Party as his coalition partner and instead try and rebuild his party's bridges with the Social Democrats.
The scandal is unfolding at a particularly politically sensitive time: European Parliamentary elections begin next week. But that's not the only reason the timing of the scandal seems suspiciously convenient for the opposition: The footage was filmed two years ago, just weeks prior to the July 2017 election where the Freedom Party ended up the junior partner in a coalition led by the Austrian People's Party. Strache, and his longstanding confidant, Johann Gudenus, now an FP MP, both appeared in the video. Apparently, they thought they were meeting with a representative of a powerful oligarch at a private villa in Ibiza.
In the footage, Strache, Gudenus and others are gathered in a private room around a large sofa. Strache, wearing jeans and a T-shirt and looking "visibly relaxed", can be seen smoking and drinking.
During a conversation, Strache wondered aloud about the possibility that the Russian oligarch might buy an Austrian newspaper to be more sympathetic to the Freedom Party in the weeks before the vote, possibly boosting support for the party. In return, Strache suggested they start up an Austrian contracting giant that could handle government contracts.
We're still waiting for a statement from Chancellor Kurz, and he could still opt to accept another FP MP as vice chancellor, continuing the coalition, but he could just as easily call another election.
While another election might damage the Freedom Party, particularly after this bribery scandal, over in Italy, a more powerful populist leader, Matteo Salvini, is struggling with the opposite problem: Whether to push for a general election to dump an uncooperative left-wing coalition partner.

Salvini Pledges to 'Free Europe from Illegal Occupation Organised by Brussels' at Populist Rally
MILAN (AP) - Italy's anti-migration Interior Minister Matteo Salvini led a rally of right-wing populist leaders Saturday seeking historic results in next week's European Parliament elections in their bid to transform European politics. Salvini, the head of Italy's right-wing League party, has positioned himself at the forefront of a growing movement of nationalist leaders seeking to free the European Union's 28 nations from what he called Brussels' "illegal occupation." He pledged to close Europe's borders to migrants if the League wins not just the most votes of any party in Italy, but also of Europe.
Salvini was joined by 10 other nationalist leaders, including Marine Le Pen of France's National Rally party and Joerg Meuthen of the Alternative for Germany party. It was a major tour de force for the expanding movement ahead of the May 23-26 vote that will take place in all 28 EU nations. Still, most of the tens of thousands of supporters that packed the square outside the central Duomo cathedral in Milan were there for Salvini. League flags filled the square, with a smattering of national flags from other nations. A short distance away, 2,000 protesters marched to protest the right-wing gathering.
In front of the Duomo, Salvini railed against unchecked migration and decried Islam, saying it mistreated women. He said Turkey would never be a part of Europe and rejected the label of extremists for the leaders with him. "In this piazza, there are no extremists. There are no racists. There are no fascists. If anything in Italy and in Europe, the difference is between who looks ahead, between who speaks of the future ... instead of making trials of the past," he said. The populist leaders in Milan are making one of the strongest challenges to the European status quo in decades, united under an anti-migration, anti-Islamism, anti-bureaucracy banner.
"It is a historic moment important enough to free the continent from the illegal occupation organized by Brussels for many years," Salvini said. He accused European leaders including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron, and EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker of "betraying Europe ... by constructing a Europe of finance and uncontrolled immigration."
Notably absent was the leader of Austria's anti-immigration Freedom Party, Heinz Christian Strache. He stayed at home to resign as vice chancellor after two German newspapers showed video of him offering government contracts to a potential Russian benefactor in return for support for his party. Despite the political setback for a key member of the Europe of Nations and Freedom parliamentary group, Le Pen predicted the group "will perform a historic feat, moving from the 8th place in Europe to third or maybe second" among major political groups in the European Parliament. Speaking to reporters before the rally, Le Pen called Strache's predicament a domestic matter, but expressed surprise "that this video that seems two years old is coming out today, a few days before the election." She said the movement was united "in our conception of cooperation in Europe, our shared desire to protect our citizens, our common refusal to see our country being subjected to the submergence of migration. "The fundamental fight we are waging is a commitment against totalitarianism, globalization and Islamism to which the European Union is responding, respectively, through accession and complacency," she said.
The populist leaders want to decentralize some EU policymaking, including for trade, agriculture, and banking, while tightening immigration laws. Most share common views over immigration and want certain powers to be returned to the member states' capitals, but clash on other economic and social policies. An analysis by the London-based Teneo consultancy forecasts that Europe's two traditional centre-right and centre-left political groups will be weakened in the May vote, falling short of the 50 per cent threshold of support for the first time. But Teneo said that result will mostly increase the influence of other centrist parties more than that of the nationalists.

Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz dramatically pulled the plug on his coalition government and announced fresh elections Saturday after an explosive camera sting claimed the scalp of his far-right deputy.
Media reports on Friday alleged Vice-Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache promised public contracts in return for campaign help from a fake Russian backer he met on the island of Ibiza a few months before 2017's parliamentary elections in Austria.
Austria's government had already been under pressure due to a stream of scandals linked to the FPOe.

Austrian Government Collapses After Two-Year-Old Video Dropped on Far Right Leader Just Days before EU Elections - Police Suspect Western Intelligence Involved
Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz called for snap elections after a two-year-old video was released in the German press showing coalition partner Heinz-Christian Strache discussing contracts with a woman posing as a Russian oligarch's niece.
From our source in Vienna... Here is a first account from my cousin, translated
The Austrian right-wing government has resigned - as soon as possible new elections are pending. 'The German media released a two-year-old video, which they leaked, anonymously. The video shows a conversation between two gov't politicians (the Vice Chancellor and one more) while on vacation in Ibiza. The conversation was secretly filmed. NOW, after 2 years the video was leaked to two German newspapers, two far left newspapers.'
In the video, the two politicians behave like pubescent adolescents and developed wild political fantasies and claimed support by a few major industrialists............. Alcohol was in the game and also a beautiful woman. It was embarrassing to look at it, especially when you know that they are statesmen. It would be interesting to discover who is behind the video, possibly the Germans themselves - SPD/lefties, or the Vienna SPÖ/lefties? Hopefully it will be announced as soon as possible and BEFORE the elections, but that is not likely.
A political earthquake was triggered, and it was first just the resignation of the FPÖ politicians and now in the evening the resignation of the government. According to the police, the tape drop was done so professionally that the police suspect (public too) that a Western intelligence service is behind the action. The newspapers, the two German newspapers, refuse to divulge their sources. It is too strange that exactly ONE week before the EU election the video appears and was not published for 2 years. Who is behind it is deeply repugnant.

Austrian government collapses as far right leader caught in video sting
VIENNA (Reuters) - Austria raced on Saturday toward a snap election as Chancellor Sebastian Kurz pulled the plug on his coalition with the far right after its leader was caught on video offering to fix state contracts with a woman posing as a Russian oligarch's niece. The far-right Freedom Party's Heinz-Christian Strache resigned as vice chancellor and party leader after the video was released by two German news organizations. He acknowledged that the video was "catastrophic" but denied breaking the law. Kurz, a conservative who formed a coalition with the Freedom Party a year and a half ago, said the apparent video sting, in which Strache discusses contracts in return for financial or political favors, was the last straw in the relationship. "After yesterday's video I honestly have to say - enough is enough," Kurz said in a statement to the media, listing various lesser scandals that had previously strained their relations.
Kurz said he was proposing to President Alexander Van der Bellen that a snap election be held as soon as possible. Van der Bellen, who can dissolve parliament, said he backed a snap election and would discuss next steps with Kurz on Sunday. "These are shameful images and no one should be ashamed for Austria," he said of the video. "We need in this sense to rebuild confidence anew. This rebuilding can in this case only happen with a snap election."
The downfall of the Austrian coalition comes just a week before elections to the European parliament and is a blow to one of the most successful of the anti-immigrant, nationalist parties that have surged across the continent in recent years. The Freedom Party is a major part of a new nationalist grouping that aims to score record gains in the European vote. The head of the opposition Social Democrats told broadcaster ORF she would not oppose a snap election if a bill calling one were put to parliament.
"DIFFICULT TO SWALLOW" As Strache announced around midday that he was stepping down, a crowd of thousands with left-wing placards and banners gathered on the square outside Kurz's office, chanting "Snap elections now!". Police estimated their number at 5,000. Kurz had repeatedly distanced himself from his far right coalition partners over lesser scandals in the past, mostly involving party officials and anti-Semitism or racism - such as one in which the deputy mayor of Hitler's home town wrote a poem likening immigrants to rats. "For all these successes in the past two years I had to be ready to withstand a lot and also put up with a lot, from the rat poem to the proximity to radical right-wing groups and the 'isolated incidents' that kept coming back," Kurz said. "There were many situations in which I found it very difficult to swallow all that."

'Political assassination': Austrian Vice Chancellor Strache resigns after leaked video scandal
Heinz-Christian Strache has resigned as Austria's vice chancellor a day after German media reported that he and a close aide discussed potentially illegal quid pro quo arrangements with a suspected Russian business woman.
Speaking to the media on Saturday, Strache said he has submitted his resignation letter to Chancellor Sebastian Kurz. Strache also stepped down as leader of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPO), the junior member of the Austrian ruling coalition.
He insisted that he and his fellow party member Johann Gudenus, who took part in the controversial meeting, were victims of a long-running smear campaign, which culminated in the release of the "illegally recorded" footage.
"It was political assassination," the politician stated.

"Austrian vice chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache resigned Saturday after two German newspapers published footage of him apparently offering lucrative government contracts to a potential Russian benefactor.
Standing before journalists and TV cameras, Strache said he was illegally set up in a "political assassination" but added that his behavior in the video was "stupid, irresponsible and a mistake.""

Austrian far-right leader quits over video sting that threatens coalition
VIENNA (Reuters) - Austria's vice chancellor and longtime far-right leader, Heinz-Christian Strache, said on Saturday he was stepping down over "catastrophic" video footage of him that threatened to bring down the right-wing coalition government. Freedom Party (FPO) leader Strache was shown in the footage of as-yet unknown origin meeting a woman posing as the niece of a Russian oligarch in 2017, shortly before the election that brought him to power. In the footage published by German media on Friday evening, a week before European Parliament elections, he appears to offer to funnel contracts towards a company in exchange for political and financial support.
"It was dumb, it was irresponsible and it was a mistake," Strache told a news conference, fighting back tears as he asked his wife and others to forgive him. He maintained, however, that he had done nothing illegal and that it was a "targeted political assassination". "In the cold light of day, my remarks were catastrophic and exceedingly embarrassing," he said about the video, in which he also referred to party financing rules and how to work around them, but also insisted on having to act legally.
Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz is expected to make a statement later on Saturday as speculation swirled about whether the damage would be limited to Strache or if Kurz would call a snap election only 18 months after the coalition between his conservatives and the FPO was formed. Kurz has repeatedly distanced himself from the FPO over lesser scandals, mostly ones involving party officials and anti-Semitism or racism, to protect his popularity. It was unclear how far the damage from the tape would spread.
"This is the tip of the iceberg," Thomas Drozda, from the opposition Social Democrats, told national broadcaster ORF. "I expect the chancellor, who evidently has known about this video for 48 hours, and that his coalition partner is drowning in a swamp of corruption, to speak and explain his position. He has been hiding for 48 hours … he owes the country an explanation." Kurz has not given a time for his statement.

Nobody in the last bread had the knowledge you do of EU politics when this story was posted. But the timing is so suspicious, less than a week before the EU elections. It would be helpful if you could add to that notable cluster another post with moar background info for Americans on the circumstances surrounding the whole situation, that would be helpful. Getting English-language coverage of EU politics is hard; anything not far left is called far right, which I'm sure you know. I went searching for an unbiased article and the Reuters was the closest I could find. Could only go so far, I was baking, too.

The article above lists Alajazeera as a source. Below is another by Reuters. As most of you probably know, it is very difficult to get unbiased coverage (espec. in English) of conservative politicians, who are almost always characterized as "far right" (sound familiar?).
The Reuters article if of interest because it refers to this video as a possible STING operation and also says Reuters was not yet able to verify the accuracy of the video. Nor do they know how the two papers who released it got a copy.
So it's definitely a "DEVELOPING" story, stay tuned…..
Reuters: Austrian government teeters after video of far-right leader
VIENNA (Reuters) - Austria's coalition government teetered on the brink of collapse on Saturday after video footage published by German newspapers apparently showed Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache discussing state contracts with a potential Russian backer in return for political support.
……
The video was reported on Friday evening by two of neighboring Germany's leading media - weekly Der Spiegel and newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung - purportedly showing a meeting in Ibiza between Strache, another party official and a woman purporting to be the niece of a Russian oligarch.
The newspaper reports also said the video appeared to be a sting operation.
The footage, recorded in July 2017 - months before the election that brought this government to power - showed Strache talking to the woman.
In it, he appeared to offer to direct inflated construction contracts to a company in exchange for support for his party, though he also said he wanted everything to be done legally.
Strache did not reply to a request for comment. Reuters was not able to verify the authenticity of the footage independently, and the German newspapers did not say how they obtained it.

Austrian deputy leader endorses far-right term 'population replacement'
Austria's deputy leader has said his party is fighting against a "replacement" of the native population, endorsing a term usually employed by the extreme right, as the country's rightwing populists double down on their rhetoric before the European elections.
Heinz-Christian Strache, the deputy chancellor in Austria's conservative-nationalist coalition government and the leader of the far-right Freedom party (FPÖ), told the Krone newspaper on Sunday that his party was "consistently following the path for our Austrian homeland, the fight against population replacement, as people expect of us."
When the interviewer interjected to say "population replacement" was a term associated with rightwing extremists, Strache replied that it was "a term of reality", adding: "We don't want to become a minority in our own country. That's legitimate and fair and deeply democratic."

Man charged with New Zealand mosque attacks gave cash to Austrian far-right: Chancellor Kurz
VIENNA (Reuters) - Austria's far-right Identitarian Movement received cash from the man charged with killing 50 people in mass shootings at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said on Wednesday. "We can now confirm that there was financial support and so a link between the New Zealand attacker and the Identitarian Movement in Austria," Kurz said. A spokesman for prosecutors in Graz said the head of Austria's Identitarian Movement, Martin Sellner, received 1,500 euros ($1,690) in early 2018 from a donor with the same name as the man charged over the March 15 Christchurch attacks. New Zealand authorities were not immediately available for comment on Kurz's statement.
Sellner, who did not reply to requests for comment from Reuters, published two videos on YouTube in which he said he had received a donation which involved an email address that matched the name of the Australian alleged to have carried out the Christchurch attacks.
In one of the videos, he said: "I'm not a member of a terrorist organization. I have nothing to do with this man, other than that I passively received a donation from him." He said the donation was from early 2018 and that he would give the money to a charitable foundation. Sellner said that police had raided his house over the possible links to the attacker.
Austria's Identitarians, who say they want to preserve Europe's identity, are a relatively new, media-savvy far-right movement which uses the internet to promote their actions on the streets. They imitate the tactics of more established activist groups such as Greenpeace. In 2017 they helped charter a ship as part of what they said was a campaign to defend Europe, and they have tried to stop migrants crossing the Mediterranean from Libya. Hansjoerg Bacher, spokesman for Graz prosecutors, said an investigation was underway about whether there were criminally relevant links between Sellner and the mosque attacker. The Austrian Interior Ministry declined to comment.
Kurz said Austria was looking into dissolving the Identitarian Movement. "Our position on this is very clear, no kind of extremism whatsoever - whether it's radical Islamists or right-wing extremist fanatics - has any place in our society," Kurz said. On Tuesday, Kurz said on Twitter any connection between the Christchurch attacker and members of the Identitarian Movement in Austria needed to be fully clarified. Austrian Vice-Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache, of the far-right Freedom Party (FPO), said the FPO had nothing to do with the Identitarian Movement.
New Zealand has announced a royal commission inquiry into the March 15 attack on two mosques in Christchurch. A suspected white supremacist has been charged with one count of murder over the Christchurch shootings and will next appear in court on April 5. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has said the man had not been on any watch lists in New Zealand or Australia.

Police look at possible tie between New Zealand shooting, Austria
March 26 (UPI) – Authorities are looking for a possible connection between this month's shooting attack at two New Zealand mosques and an Austrian man. Fifty people were killed in the March 15 attack at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. Police named the gunman as Australian Brendan Tarrant.
The Austrian man, Martin Sellner, said his home has been searched – and noted that his Identitarian Movement received a donation from Tarrant before the attack. Sellner said he was attempting to contact his attorney about the donation when Austrian authorities arrived and took several electronic devices. The Identitarian Movement is considered a far-right and white nationalist movement. Sellner denied any connection with Tarrant or the shooting and said he "had nothing to do with the attack." He added that he would donate the money allegedly donated by Tarrant to charity.
Austrian Interior Ministry Christoph Poelzl acknowledged the country's domestic intelligence agency searched Sellner's property in Vienna at the request of prosecutors. "Any connection between the Christchurch attacker and members of the Identitarians in Austria needs to be comprehensively and ruthlessly investigated," Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz tweeted. "It is important that the independent justice system can use all necessary means and resources to conduct its investigation together with the security services and expose these networks. There needs to be total clarity about all extremist activities," Kurz said.
Austrian Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache, leader of Austria's far-right Freedom Party, called for a detailed inquiry for connections to the Christchurch shooting. "All suspicions of extremism are acted upon, whether they are right, left or religiously motivated," Strache wrote on Twitter. "Fanaticism has no place in our society."

Is Angela Merkel behind the UN Migration Pact? New document sheds light
Germany's Deception: Internal documents from Germany's Federal Foreign Office divulge that Angela Merkel's government has been the main mastermind behind the controversial UN migrant pact.
The document, described by MP Petr Bystron of the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD), reveals that the Federal Foreign Office taking credit for the disastrous UN Migrant Pact, claiming they've been working on the agreement since 2016.
The deception runs deep, the Foreign Office having stated that the German government has been behind the Global Compact on Refugees and the Global Compact on Migration, saying that though they are not legally binding, they were both designed to be "politically binding".
Belgian International Law professor Pierre d'Argent, has explained that the agreement sets up a "legal framework" that can be used by lawyers in interpretting the meaning of the law. "...one can imagine that in some cases before international jurisdictions, lawyers use this pact as a reference tool to try to guide them," d'Argent said.
Alexander Gauland, Co-leader of Germany's populist AfD party told Breitbart London:
"It's becoming glaringly obvious that the German government was trying to deceive the public, and still is. They are trying to retroactively legalise Merkel's illegal opening of the borders since 2015. If the AfD had not raised the topic of the Global Compact, no one would ever have known about it until it was too late."
"Now we are discovering that this contract has been in the works for a long time, and on German initiative, no less. However, those responsible never bothered to mention it. For good reason. We will do everything we can to avert this disaster in the making," he said further.
The US, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Israel, Australia, The Czech Republic, Italy, Slovakia and more have backed out and will not sign the pact.
"We are only responsible to our Austrian population as government officials. Austrian sovereignty has top priority for us, this must be preserved and protected," Austrian Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache said about pulling out of the pact.

Exclusive: German Populist Leader Slams Merkel For UN Migrant Pact Deception
The German government has deceived the public, the leader of the nation's populist opposition party told Breitbart London, as internal documents from the Federal Foreign Office reveal that Angela Merkel's government has been the main architect of the controversial UN migrant pact.
The document, which was highlighted by populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) MP Petr Bystron and can be downloaded from the German government's website, shows the Federal Foreign Office taking credit for the UN migrant pact, claiming they had worked on the agreement as early as 2016.
According to the Foreign Office, the German government has been behind both the Global Compact on Refugees and the Global Compact on Migration, saying that while neither are legally binding they were both designed to be "politically binding."
While many have pointed to the fact the agreement is not legally binding some, like Belgian International Law professor Pierre d'Argent, have claimed the agreement sets up a "legal framework" that can be used in cases by lawyers to interpret the meaning of the law.
"...one can imagine that in some cases before international jurisdictions, lawyers use this pact as a reference tool to try to guide them," d'Argent said.
The document, which was released in October, also states, "the Federal Republic has sought to expedite the formulation of the Global Compact for Migration politically, content-wise, personally and financially, underscoring the German lead role internationally regarding flight and migration."
Co-leader of Germany's populist AfD party Alexander Gauland told Breitbart London: "It's becoming glaringly obvious that the German government was trying to deceive the public, and still is. They are trying to retroactively legalize Merkel's illegal opening of the borders since 2015. If the AfD had not raised the topic of the Global Compact, no one would ever have known about it until it was too late."
"Now we are discovering that this contract has been in the works for a long time, and on German initiative, no less. However, those responsible never bothered to mention it. For good reason. We will do everything we can to avert this disaster in the making," he added.
The internal documents would largely explain the recent passionate defence of the UN migrant pact by Chancellor Merkel who claimed that opponents of the pact were, in fact: "people who say they can solve everything themselves and don't have to think about anyone else - that is nationalism in its purest form."
Despite her impassioned speech, many countries, such as the USA, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Israel, Australia and others have pulled out of the pact.
Austrian populist Vice Chancellor and leader of the Freedom Party Heinz-Christian Strache defended his county's decision saying, "We are only responsible to our Austrian population as government officials. Austrian sovereignty has top priority for us, this must be preserved and protected."

Austria Follows Trump and Withdraws from UN Migration Treaty to Preserve Sovereignty
Citing concerns over the protection of national sovereignty, central European nation Austria has announced its withdrawal from the United Nations (UN) Migration Compact, which claims mass migration is "inevitable, necessary, and desirable", and that it will not be signing the treaty.
Austria's Conservative-Populist coalition government announced the move Wednesday, which follows both the United States and Hungary which have also said they would not be signing the UN document when it is ratified in December.
The so-called Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, which has been much criticised by anti-mass migration politicians as being massively disadvantageous to first world migration-target nations, is made up of 23 goals which states worldwide are expected to sign up to. Some 17 of those goals are unacceptable to the Austrian government, reports best-selling national newspaper Kronen Zeitung, which is "seriously concerned about the content and objectives of the UN Migration Compact."
Speaking earlier this month, conservative Austrian Chancellor Kurz said: "We view some of the points in this agreement very critically. We will, therefore, do everything to maintain the sovereignty of our country and ensure that we as the Republic of Austria can decide for ourselves on migration issues."
Vice-chancellor of Austria and leader of the nation's populist, anti-mass migration Freedom Party (FPO) Heinz-Christian Strache attacked the UN plan, explaining why the government was against signing it, saying: "Migration is not and can not be a human right. It can not, therefore, be the case that no distinction is made between legal and illegal migration flows."
In December, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations explained President Trump's decision to withdraw his nation's support from the compact, remarking: "...our decisions on immigration policies must always be made by Americans and Americans alone... We will decide how best to control our borders and who will be allowed to enter our country.
"The global approach in the New York declaration is simply not compatible with US sovereignty." President Trump himself characterised the plan as a blueprint for a world where there are "no borders, everyone can come in."
Central European conservative nation Hungary followed the U.S. months later, calling the compact a "threat to the world" when it withdrew its support. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban himself called the UN treaty "dangerous" and claimed it bore the hallmarks of looking like it was "copied from the Soros Plan... in spirit, it's exactly the same."
Hungary's foreign minister Péter Szijjártó, meanwhile, said of the UN's plan: "In its current form, the Global Compact for Migration is an African migration package, the beneficiary of which is Africa... The victim of which is Europe, and as result of which Europe's population, if things remain unchanged, could change radically."
Follow central European populist nation Poland is also expected to withdraw support for the plan, with interior minister Joachim Brudzinski saying in response to the migration compact that "we want Poles to be safe in their country." The United Kingdom is still due to sign and support the plan when it is presented in Morocco in December, and goes before the UN General Assembly in 2019.

Austria to withdraw from U.N. migration agreement: APA
Austria will follow the United States and Hungary in withdrawing from a United Nations agreement on migration, APA news agency said on Wednesday, citing Austrian concerns about its sovereignty and potential restrictions on its freedom to act. Austria will not sign the agreement dealing with refugees and migrants rights, which will be adopted in December at a United Nations conference in Marrakech, Morocco, APA said, citing Chancellor Sebastian Kurz and vice chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache. The Austria government is due to make a cabinet decision on the treaty later on Wednesday, APA added. Kurz said earlier this month he viewed some of the points of the agreement very critically.

Orban's Moscow visit a middle finger gesture to EU after last week's humiliation
Russian President Vladimir Putin is reviled as an enemy of the West in general, and of the EU in particular, and yet Hungarian Prime Minister Orban continues to conduct "business as usual" with the master of the Kremlin.
These politicians have voiced support for Orban's stance against immigration. But they also support his pragmatic approach to Russia. Salvini is a well-known critic of the Russia sanctions, and Italy has said they should end. Parts of the Austrian government agree, the Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl having recently had Putin as a personal guest of honor at her wedding, while the Vice-Chancellor, Heinz-Christian Strache, is well known for his pro-Russian and pro-Putin views. On the other hand, Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has reassured critics that Austria is rooted in the EU and shares its stance towards Russia.
The striking thing about Orban, and about his Central European allies (who incidentally include the Czech President Milos Zeman), is that they are from countries which, as Orban puts it, suffered greatly "under Russia" in the past. He is referring to the countries' membership of the Warsaw Pact, and their subjection to communist rule, after World War II. In Hungary's case, the suffering was especially violent because of the suppression of the 1956 revolution in Budapest by Soviet troops. Yet it is precisely these countries who today advocate a pragmatic relationship with Russia, while countries such as Britain, and even Germany, treat Russia as if it were still a communist dictatorship with the Cold War in full swing.
The irony is all the greater because Orban personally played a key role - but one which is often forgotten by historians - in bringing about the end of Soviet rule in Central Europe. His speech in Heroes' Square in Budapest on June 16, 1989 on the occasion of the re-burial of the leader of the 1956 uprising, Imre Nagy, was the first time anyone in the Warsaw Pact had publicly called for the withdrawal of Soviet troops. The very making of this speech showed that the old taboos - and, with them, the power of the communist dictatorship - had collapsed. This was two months before the Hungarian government opened its border with Austria, allowing tens of thousands of East Germans to cross into West Germany, and five months before the Berlin wall came down. Orban's contribution to the chain reaction which led to these later events was therefore decisive.
The "salon des refusés" of political dissidents in the EU is getting bigger by the day. Less than a week after his government was condemned in a vote in the European parliament, Orban is in Moscow for talks about energy with Putin. His visit to Russia is the political equivalent of giving the EU the finger following last week's humiliation.
Orban is not alone. In his battle with the EU over immigration and the rule of law, he is supported by Poland and the Czech Republic. Poland, which is also facing an Article 7 procedure against it by the European Commission, has vowed to protect Hungary, just as Hungary has vowed to protect Poland. So there is no way that the voting rights of either country can be removed, since the ultimate vote to do so requires unanimity.

Orban's Moscow Visit A Middle Finger To EU After Last Week's Humiliation
The "salon des refusés" of political dissidents in the EU is getting bigger by the day. Less than a week after his government was condemned in a vote in the European parliament, Orban is in Moscow for talks about energy with Putin. His visit to Russia is the political equivalent of giving the EU the finger following last week's humiliation.
Orban is not alone. In his battle with the EU over immigration and the rule of law, he is supported by Poland and the Czech Republic. Poland, which is also facing an Article 7 procedure against it by the European Commission, has vowed to protect Hungary, just as Hungary has vowed to protect Poland. So there is no way that the voting rights of either country can be removed, since the ultimate vote to do so requires unanimity. Orban also recently received the support of Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis and of the Italian Minister of the Interior, Matteo Salvini.
These politicians have voiced support for Orban's stance against immigration. But they also support his pragmatic approach to Russia. Salvini is a well-known critic of the Russia sanctions, and Italy has said they should end. Parts of the Austrian government agree, the Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl having recently had Putin as a personal guest of honor at her wedding, while the Vice-Chancellor, Heinz-Christian Strache, is well known for his pro-Russian and pro-Putin views. On the other hand, Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has reassured critics that Austria is rooted in the EU and shares its stance towards Russia.
The striking thing about Orban, and about his Central European allies (who incidentally include the Czech President Milos Zeman), is that they are from countries which, as Orban puts it, suffered greatly "under Russia" in the past. He is referring to the countries' membership of the Warsaw Pact, and their subjection to communist rule, after World War II. In Hungary's case, the suffering was especially violent because of the suppression of the 1956 revolution in Budapest by Soviet troops. Yet it is precisely these countries who today advocate a pragmatic relationship with Russia, while countries such as Britain, and even Germany, treat Russia as if it were still a communist dictatorship with the Cold War in full swing.
The irony is all the greater because Orban personally played a key role - but one which is often forgotten by historians - in bringing about the end of Soviet rule in Central Europe. His speech in Heroes' Square in Budapest on June 16, 1989 on the occasion of the re-burial of the leader of the 1956 uprising, Imre Nagy, was the first time anyone in the Warsaw Pact had publicly called for the withdrawal of Soviet troops. The very making of this speech showed that the old taboos - and, with them, the power of the communist dictatorship - had collapsed. This was two months before the Hungarian government opened its border with Austria, allowing tens of thousands of East Germans to cross into West Germany, and five months before the Berlin wall came down. Orban's contribution to the chain reaction which led to these later events was therefore decisive.

Police look at possible tie between New Zealand shooting and Austria
Sourced from QRes#7557
March 26 (UPI) - Authorities are looking for a possible connection between this month's shooting attack at two New Zealand mosques and an Austrian man. Fifty people were killed in the March 15 attack at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. Police named the gunman as Australian Brendan Tarrant.
The Austrian man, Martin Sellner, said his home has been searched - and noted that his Identitarian Movement received a donation from Tarrant before the attack. Sellner said he was attempting to contact his attorney about the donation when Austrian authorities arrived and took several electronic devices. The Identitarian Movement is considered a far-right and white nationalist movement. Sellner denied any connection with Tarrant or the shooting and said he "had nothing to do with the attack." He added that he would donate the money allegedly donated by Tarrant to charity.
Austrian Interior Ministry Christoph Poelzl acknowledged the country's domestic intelligence agency searched Sellner's property in Vienna at the request of prosecutors. "Any connection between the Christchurch attacker and members of the Identitarians in Austria needs to be comprehensively and ruthlessly investigated," Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz tweeted. "It is important that the independent justice system can use all necessary means and resources to conduct its investigation together with the security services and expose these networks. There needs to be total clarity about all extremist activities," Kurz said.
Austrian Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache, leader of Austria's far-right Freedom Party, called for a detailed inquiry for connections to the Christchurch shooting. "All suspicions of extremism are acted upon, whether they are right, left or religiously motivated," Strache wrote on Twitter. "Fanaticism has no place in our society."

Die untergetauchte Schlüsselfigur im Ibiza-Krimi, Privatdetektiv Julian H., wurde am Donnerstag in einem Versteck in Berlin verhaftet.
Mit Julian H. hat die deutsche Polizei eine mögliche Schlüsselfigur in der Causa Ibiza festgenommen. Der Privatdetektiv soll gemeinsam mit anderen Personen die heimliche Aufnahme jenes Videos initiiert haben, die den damaligen Vizekanzler und FPÖ-Obmann Heinz-Christian Strache im Juli 2017 auf der Baleareninsel beim Prahlen über verdeckte Parteispenden zeigt. H. war untergetaucht, hatte aber zuletzt per Videoschaltung in einem Prozess als Zeuge ausgesagt.
Im Ibiza-Video war Julian H. selbst zu sehen - als Begleiter des weiblichen Lockvogels, der sich als angebliche Oligarchen-Nichte inszenierte und Strache sowie den früheren freiheitlichen Klubobmann im Nationalrat, Johann Gudenus, damit in eine Falle gelockt hatte. Die Veröffentlichung des Materials führte 2019 zum Sturz der damaligen Regierung aus ÖVP und FPÖ sowie zum Rücktritt der beiden FPÖ-Politiker. Julian H. war seitdem per internationalem Haftbefehl gesucht worden. Neben Wien hatte er auch einen Wohnsitz in München angemeldet, wo er eine Detektei betrieb.
Trotz der Vorwürfe gegen ihn unterließ es H. nicht, selbst Prozesse rund um die Causa anzustrengen. So erlitt die deutsche "Zeit" eine Niederlage vor Gericht, da sie über das angebliche Vorleben des Mannes berichtet hatte - etwa den mittlerweile entkräfteten Vorwurf der Industriespionage. Am 23. Oktober war H. via Videokonferenz in den Kremser Schwurgerichtssaal als Zeuge und Geschädigter zugeschaltet. Auch dort bestritt er den Vorwurf, gemeinsam mit dem dort angeklagten Ex-Sicherheitsberater illegale Methoden angewandt zu haben.
Nicht nur H. selbst, auch sein Anwalt Johannes Eisenberg war in der Ibiza-Affäre immer wieder in den Schlagzeilen. So hatte der Rechtsvertreter dem für die Klärung der Causa eingerichteten parlamentarischen Untersuchungsausschuss die Übermittlung des gesamten Ibiza-Videos angeboten. Nach der Argumentation von Nationalratspräsident Wolfgang Sobotka (ÖVP), der Ausschuss dürfe möglicherweise rechtswidrig zustande gekommene Beweismittel nicht annehmen, zog er das Angebot wieder zurück. Im Ausschuss aussagen will Eisenberg nicht.

FESTNAHME IN BERLIN. Ibiza-Krimi vor Aufklärung: Detektiv verhaftet!
Riesenerfolg für die Ermittler der SOKO Tape: Die untergetauchte Schlüsselfigur im Ibiza-Krimi wurde am Donnerstag in ihrem Versteck in der deutschen Hauptstadt Berlin verhaftet. Der Ex-Sicherheitssöldner und Detektiv hatte die verhängnisvolle Falle mit der "schoafen Russin" als Lockvogel für den damaligen FPÖ-Chef Heinz-Christian Strache eingefädelt. Jetzt könnten die letzten Geheimnisse geklärt werden …
Jetzt, nach mehr als eineinhalb Jahren, ist die Flucht zu Ende: Wie heimische Justizkreise bestätigten, ist der per europäischen Haftbefehl von der Wiener Staatsanwaltschaft gesuchte Verdächtige gefasst! Nach einem Tipp aus R U M Ä N I S C H E N Ermittlerkreisen hatten sich SOKO-Beamte und Kollegen der Zielfahndung in Berlin auf die Lauer gelegt. Tatsächlich flog Julian H. am Donnerstag aus Osteuropa in die deutsche Hauptstadt. In einem Versteck schlugen die Ermittler zu: Für ihn klickten die Handschellen, er soll rasch ausgeliefert werden.
