    Thanks for the insights. Frightening to see such a close partner acting as a Russian agent in the EU.

      It’s not as simple as saying “Austria is a Russian agent”. Our current government will always stand with the EU in the end, but a lot of influential people with russian ties are constantly telling them to keep the relations with Russia good.

      Now, if the polls hold true and FPÖ gets into government again… then Austria will be governed by Russian agents for sure.

        That’s grim. Sit tight, we’re with you. Still you may want to change your foreign agent law.

          Well, it looks like our security agency who is in Charge of protecting the constitution has reported the youth wing of the far right party to the authorities for the first time ever, because of their open nazi symbolism. They might actually do something against the party for the first time ever.
