Alif now canceled the meeting himself. The planned meeting warmed the minds of domestic politics.
According to a report by the Upper Austrian Volksblatt, the Islamic community Milli Görüs (IGMG) is listed in Germany as an “unconstitutional organization”. Alif is “a branch of the fundamentalist community of Milli Görüs” and made the rejection for “self-protection”. “We do not want to give right-wing and Islamophobic circles the opportunity to do politics behind the back and at the expense of Muslims and to instrumentalize Alif for their political purposes,” said Alif chief Resul Koca in Upper Austria. Volksblatt quotes.
ÖVP, FPÖ and the Green Linz had spoken out against the meeting. On Saturday morning Linz Deputy Mayor Markus Hein (FPÖ) welcomed the cancellation on a broadcast. Bernhard Baier, Deputy Mayor of Linz (ÖVP), again criticized in a broadcast that the SPÖ had not withdrawn the commitment to use public space: “Our criticism of the SPÖ and the crooked gaze still stand.” The danger of further spread of parallel societies throughout Austria remains.
Peter Binder, SPÖ member of the state parliament and spokesperson for the responsible councilor Regina Fechter, told the APA in the lead-up to the event that city halls and people’s houses are there for clubs to hold events. “We have given ourselves a regulation – approved jointly with all parties in the Linz municipal council – that we verify and follow the stipulations of the Austrian constitutional protection and the police.” The Alif in Linz must be seen differently than the IGMG in Germany. It is difficult when you have to include the evaluation of foreign authorities. If Ergün were to be prosecuted for European protection of the constitution, there would have to be an entry ban. “I don’t have to like everything he says,” says Binder.
