FPÖ is outraged
SPÖ throwing game: With balls against Kickl
The heated debate between top candidate Andreas Babler and FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl on Friday evening was not enough for the SPÖ. Federal Managing Director Klaus Seltenheim followed up on Saturday with a hefty press release. The FPÖ leader is a danger to Austria and the rule of law. In the meantime, there is a fuss about a throwing game on the fringes of a red election campaign event in Wr.
On Saturday, people were able to throw balls at cans on which pictures of a crossed-out FPÖ chairman could be seen. Lower Austria's blue party leader Reinhard Teufel spoke of a "disgusting action". "Those who can no longer get away with arguments have to resort to such methods and have other politicians shot at," Teufel said in disgust.
"Glorification of violence has no place in democracy"
Teufel and General Secretary Michael Schnedlitz immediately demanded the resignation of SPÖ leader Andreas Babler. "Shooting at people and inciting spectators to do so, no matter what, is a transgression that must not be tolerated. Glorification of violence has no place in an election campaign or in a democracy. SPÖ chairman Babler should therefore stop his election campaign and resign immediately," Schnedlitz said.
