Greens Submit Statements of Facts After Identitarian Demonstration

Several criminally relevant offenses - including violations of the Symbols Act and alleged incitement in the form of xenophobic slogans - have been documented in pictures and videos. This will be brought to the attention of the Vienna State Police Directorate, announced the Green spokesperson for right-wing extremism, Lukas Hammer, in the "Standard".

The photos and videos show, for example, the emblem of the Identitarian Movement Austria, which was banned in 2021, in a slightly altered form on a banner that was unfurled at the closing rally at Am Gestade. In addition, demonstration participants repeatedly chanted the slogan "Germany for the Germans, foreigners out!", which according to the Greens allegedly constitutes the offense of incitement.

The Green MP criticized the police. "When right-wing extremists and neo-Nazis march through our city, protected by the police, shouting, and the police are apparently too busy keeping the anti-fascist protest at bay and can no longer manage to report the criminally relevant offenses, then I am happy to assist," said Hammer.
