Turquoise green creates the criminal offense “Extremist connection for religious reasons.” Symbols of “identities” are prohibited and a record of terror is entered.
The terrorist attack in Vienna on November 2 has had an impact: those who were there and experienced shooting at others, who lost family or friends, had to barricade themselves and were only able to make their way home after hours of fear. But even with many who saw the images on television or on the Internet, the scenes were burned. The same applies to the federal government, which is trying to do justice to the facts in two steps: developing a package for the prevention of terrorism and creating a commission of inquiry to address the facts.
Interior Minister Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) expressed his appreciation on Wednesday after the Council of Ministers for the fact that a legislative package could be drawn up together with the Greens, with which “interdisciplinary actions against threats terrorists “. “Extremism has no place in our society,” declared Justice Minister Alma Zadić (Greens), so “it must be nipped in the bud.” Likewise, the Minister of Integration Susanne Raab (ÖVP): “This is not a fight against a religion, but against terror”, praised the “powerful instrument” presented here.
The package must go into a six week review period on Friday. A second package will follow next year.
The innovations in detail:
- A Terrorregister should be inserted: It should list offenders convicted in connection with terrorism. The purpose: After incarceration, if they seek employment, they should not be able to work in sensitive areas. Furthermore, it should be “impossible for them to legally acquire a gun in our country ever again,” Nehammer said.
- Furthermore, the ÖVP and the Greens have agreed on changes to the “Symbolegesetz“Specifically, identity symbols should be prohibited.
- In the future, if a terrorist offender is paroled, electronic surveillance occur. Furthermore, the behavior of the parolee and its development during judicial supervision in the context of a “Case conference“can also be evaluated Trial period can be expanded in individual cases.
- Another essential part of the package of measures is the creation of a new criminal offense: The new § 247b “Extremist connection for religious reasons” in the Penal Code it is directed against organizations that want to replace the democratic constitutional order with a religious-based social and state order, such as Sharia. People who establish, work, or support such connections are punished.
- A Reason for the difficulty due to extremist religiously motivated reasons. This should allow effective action against new forms of extremism.
- The changes to Islamic Law will create new legal bases for the Office of Culture to close the “radical mosques” more easily and quickly, explained Integration Minister Raab. In addition, a directory is entered in which Mosques and magnets listed it must be to know “which imams preach in which mosques”; Foreign imams who come to Austria to preach here must also register.
- the Prohibition of foreign financing of mosques is stricter: mosques and the associations behind them must submit all financial documents. There should be penalties for non-compliance.
The implementation of measures for people in distress (the media) discussed above is not included in the package. The announced ban on “Political Islam” is also not included in the turquoise green paper.
