Together with others, he had called for a night watch to be held in front of the Graz synagogue after the anti-Semitic attacks. Tristan Ammerer, Gries District President, has now been denounced for this very reason.

The Graz synagogue had been attacked twice almost two weeks ago. Then on Saturday August 22 as well Elie rosen, the president of the Jewish community of Graz, had been attacked Tristan ammerer and others spontaneously to one “Night vision” called. About 20 pastors had taken up positions in front of the synagogue when it rained. This night watch now seems to have consequences for Ammerer, the Gries district chief.

“I received information by email today with a request for opinion”he says in conversation with Futter. She also shared a screenshot of the email on her social media accounts.

“Apparently they denounced me because I campaigned for the protection of a building”Ammerer continues. Protection that he demanded from the Karlauerstraße police station after the first two attacks in his role as district director. Advance information now also comes from this police inspection. Since then, Ammerer has confirmed the authenticity. “I’m surprised by the email form, though.”

An “undisclosed assembly”

What is Ammerer now accused of? That he as head of a “No meeting is indicated in appearance” kicked, for which he violated the assembly law. He is also accused of violating road traffic regulations, since the “Sidewalk used for non-commercial purposes” has been. Furthermore, Ammerer did not ensure that the Covid-19 protection measures were met.

Ammerer suspects retaliation for his public criticism of the police inspector’s actions. He said this at the rally outside the synagogue the day after the attack on Rosen. Because the police inspection is the one that was recently the subject of media reports. Because two officers from the police station in question were on trial in Graz in July, it involved several Nazi statements and an SMS with photos of Adolf Hitler laughing.

He wanted to defend himself from the report or the allegations in any event, he said in an interview with Futter. How exactly remains to be seen. I’m waiting for the mail now. “
