AfD parliamentary group exam in Vienna: Learning for cleanliness and security!

The Berlin AfD is currently making a name for itself in Vienna. The reason for this is a parliamentary group exam that revolves around the topics of social housing and city. Group leader Kristin Brinker and her colleagues praise the high cleanliness and security that Vienna offers. These praising words are also heard at the Viennese FPÖ, which emphasizes the importance of waste disposal under her city councilor Ulrike Nittmann. Nittmann emphasizes that a functioning garbage system contributes significantly to the positive cityscape. But there are also dark forecasts by FPÖ parliamentary group leader Dominik Nepp, who draws attention to the city's possible financial difficulties that could be due in the future.

A particularly sensitive topic is immigration. Nepp differentiates between "decent" and "indecent" immigrants, which is rejected by Brinker in this form. In order to strengthen the cooperation, the FPÖ and the AfD have signed a cooperation agreement. The declared goal of this alliance is a "free-conservative renewal" in urban politics, which also strives for a stronger exchange between like-minded cities in Europe. The focus here is on questions of security, migration and education in order to counter illegal immigration and increasing crime.

together strong in the challenges

The challenges in the metropolitan areas are large. Overloaded infrastructures and the risk of terrorism make clear strategies necessary. Dominik Nepp from the FPÖ from Vienna sees the partnership with the AfD as crucial to preserve the identity of the city. The cooperation agreement includes a regular exchange, joint events and citizen dialogues to achieve coordinated positions.

It could be a signal for closer cooperation right -wing forces in Europe. Nevertheless, the alliance also receives reviews, for example from the Greens in Vienna: Party leader Judith Pühringer is concerned about working with the AfD, which is considered the largest opposition faction in the German Bundestag and is classified between the "right -wing extremist" and "right -wing extremist suspicion".

a controversial meeting

A on-site appointment in the focal district of favorites, where drug crime and a high proportion of foreigners prevail, attracts AfD MPs to a further inspection. A social worker contradicts the representation circulating there and criticizes the demonization of people. This criticism becomes particularly striking when a young Austrian describes the AfD's views as "stupid agitation". Regardless of this, the cleanliness of the streets is highlighted during a visit in an ice cream parlor, which underlines the praised organization in Viennese city policy.

The seriousness and the spread of right -wing extremist thinking are not without foundations. A publication examines the development of such movements in Europe and takes a look at the historical roots. The attraction of the extreme rights in countries that are affected by the current economic and financial crisis are also considered. It offers interesting insights into the complex location and dealing with such currents in Europe.

For the Viennese population, it remains to be seen how the cooperation between the FPÖ and AfD will develop and what effects they will have on the political climate in Vienna.
