I remember in 2008 when Jorg Haider and the freedom party won a huge earth shattering victory. It appeared on various news outlets, although often with misleading or deceptive titles. At the time I was a young man and had seen through the media propaganda for Obama and the anti-austrian propaganda (thanks to careful internet research) I cast my first votes for the Republicans. I was not happy about Obama's victory, however I was optomistic and hopeful about the Freedom Party victory. I thought to myself, although my country has made a bad decision, atleast the Austrians have made a right one and was inspired. I even believed Austria would be the second Denmark type government as far as immigration and social policy was concerned. However two years later my optomism has faded and now although Americans have now "woken up", I see Austria itself under grave threat and democracy itself is threatened (not by the Haider or the FPO) but the OVP and SPO, which could have negative implications for here and the globe as people in other nations, especially as newly arising nationalist movements watch carefully.
The OVP in a very totolitarian manner has ignored the rule of law and foundations of democracy itself with their new budget and "ideas". They have completely left out the will of the Austrian people in not desiring further immigration and wanting financial expenditures which are fair to the general Austrian people. Instead the Austrian budget favors primarily the socialists and ultra wealthy and is detrimental to the future of Austria and society by assaulting the building block of society and the best future for Austria: the family. The OVP role in the budget fiasco is most disturbing as the OVP is traditionally supposed to be on a non-marxist party and center right party. But in this instance they have abandoned years of wisdom tradition and sound judgement in favor of avarice and ideas which contradict their very principles and traditions.
The undemocratic and totolitarian nature of the OVP decision is most disturbing. Not only have they ignored their principles popular will and traditions, but they have set a horrible precendent. The OVP in their actions is showing the world and emerging nationalist movements literally that democracy does not work and the rule of law is flexible. A country with a traditionally strong Nationalist movement where such a party was able to get almost 30% of the vote instead of being included is excluded from the budget process and even from preventing further immigration. The message it sends to nationalists in other nations is terrible and clear, that no matter how much a nationalists participates in the democratic process and respects the rule of law and reaps political sucess that they will not be able to save their nations from mass immigration and cultural and physical destruction. If there is literally no sucessful role model and story of sucess to aspire to, then what are the Nationalists in other nations observing supposed to do and think ? How could they remain democratic and respect the rule of law and proper adressment of grievances ?
Will the OVP continue down their destructive course or would they relent and realize the error of their ways in the face of hard evidence and harsh realities ? I hope they will capitulate and do the right and intelligent thing rather than continue their self destructive and undemocratic behavior. The eyes of the newly emerging movements are watching.
