Vienna. Even before taking office, Justice Minister Alma Zadic (Greens) faced a wave of hate from the right. The reason for the attacks: the origin of the lawyer who fled Bosnia 26 years ago. The hate messages on the net don’t stop. Under an “orf” posting there was even a new threat of murder against the Minister of Justice.
As the blog “FPÖ Fails” found out, a hate user posted under the “” orf Facebook post on Zadic “A ball is reserved”.
+ A bullet for Justice Minister @Alma_Zadic + [Thread]
It probably doesn’t get much stupid than this #Klarnamen public at the @ ZIB100 to comment.
The fact that Christian Höbart does not want to see the hate side of hate on the Internet is evidence of a denial of reality. pic.twitter.com/w24Qhiy0c3

Despite the #Solidaritystorm, some users don’t stop at insults and insults.
FPÖ Member of the National Council Christian Höbart also wrote his opinion on the posting: “NOBODY in our country deserves to be insulted, Ms Zadic. Leaving the list aside … would be advisable.”
In the AUSTRIA interview, she says how she deals with hate
AUSTRIA: You have been confronted with hate postings in the past. But when you said yes to the ministerial job, did you expect it to take on this scale?
Alma Zadic: The moment I went into politics, I knew that hate posts would always be an issue. But when I stood for election as a minister at the green federal congress, it really exploded. I would never have imagined that it would take on such a scale. But I also experienced a lot of solidarity.
AUSTRIA: Do you feel sufficiently supported by Chancellor Kurz in the matter?
Zadic: I feel well supported from all sides. Both the Federal President, the Chancellor and the President of the National Council have made clear statements on this. I also really like the fact that some citizens call the Ministry and tell us that they find it unbearable what is going on on the Internet.
