A swastika has been carved into the party logo of the Lower Austrian FPÖ parliamentary club at the entrance to the Landhaus St. Pölten, and the name of the Freedom Party club chairman Reinhard Teufel has been crossed out in an elevator.

The State Office for the Protection of the Constitution and Counterterrorism (LSE) is investigating, confirmed police spokesman Stefan Loidl upon request, a report by the "Kronen Zeitung" (Thursday edition).

The Nazi symbol is believed to have been carved between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m. on April 3, and was discovered by a security service employee. Both the state as the owner of the elevator and the Freedom Party have filed a complaint. The sign or logo has already been replaced, said a spokesman for the FPÖ club. There is access control by chip at House 1.

The Freedom Party state party leader Deputy Governor Udo Landbauer demanded "complete clarification": "The swastika attack on our FPÖ club is simply outrageous." This is "not a 'prank'," but a "targeted attack on the FPÖ Lower Austria," he stated in a Facebook post.
