Interior Minister Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) suspects a Turkish influence behind the demonstrations in favorites. However, he does not want to invite the “Gray Wolves” to the Chancellery.
Wien. Young men who start mobbing because of a demonstration against violence against women, show the forbidden “wolf salute” and injure police dogs: The escalation of violence between Kurdish and Turkish clubs in Vienna’s favorites has been causing waves between Vienna and Ankara since the end of June.
Interior Minister Karl Nehammer (ÖVP), who suspected a foreign influence behind the current escalation of violence, was also concerned with the question of the extent to which domestic political conflicts were instigated by foreign policy actors on Sunday: For example, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution had information that “camouflage associations” were under “Turkish influence” , as Nehammer emphasized in the ORF “press hour”. It is not uncommon for this to be “political Islam, which then causes mischief and brings poison into society”.
But the conflicts in Turkey “are not being carried out on the streets of Vienna, it is unacceptable,” said the Interior Minister. As a federal government, one would “not allow associations to be used by a foreign state to pursue politics and cause unrest”.
