The latter announced a motion of no confidence due to the crown show ban, which Nehammer has honestly earned and worked hard for. The minister attested to Kickl’s vanity and offended frustration.
The special session was called by the Freedom Party. The reason was that not only the demonstrations of opponents of the Corona measures had been banned, but also one of the FPÖ. Kickl sees this as an attack on freedom of assembly and therefore freedom of expression. The club boss says the government is “afraid of freedom and afraid of the people.”

Kickl defended the organizers of the demonstrations. “Peace-loving critics” are vilified and the police incited: “Many see this development as dangerous.” The ban is an “intellectual, moral and democratic political revelation.” The government just wanted to divert attention from its failure. Kickl denounced the FFP2 masks and the type of PCR test as insane, as well as the confinement in general.

Nehammer saw these attacks as a consequence of Kickl’s aggrieved vanity, because he had to leave the ministry: “Frustration and anger are also bad advisers in the opposition.”

Demonstration ban due to health considerations
The Minister of the Interior justified the prohibition of the demos, mainly for health reasons. Nehammer denied that there had been pressure from the EU, the federal president or the federal chancellor.
The department head repeatedly pointed out that the protesters included neo-Nazis and new right-wing extremists. In his view, the “unholy alliance” of the crown deniers and the FPÖ is being carried out behind the backs of those others who really wanted to express their concern.
Nehammer will likely survive the FPÖ’s vote of no confidence, as well as the one announced by SPÖ club deputy president Jörg Leichtfried in the morning. However, the department head does not receive support from the Greens in the government bank. The smaller opposition party did not send anyone to the meeting today, and that, by the way, the Greens listened in advance. The Minister of the Interior had the local support of the Foreign Ministers Karoline Edtstadler and Susanne Raab (ÖVP), among others.
Greens don’t want to jeopardize the coalition
Of course, the Greens are angry not at the ban on crown demonstrations, but at the recent deportation of Georgian and Armenian girls. The SPÖ and NEOS are trying to take advantage of this by putting forward motions that really correspond to the position of the Greens. However, you have already agreed in advance to disagree probably also so as not to endanger the coalition.
The SPÖ’s two motions for resolutions aim to bring girls back and reorganize the humanitarian right to stay with states that have a voice. NEOS is also trying to submit a request. They demand that Nehammer ensure that the application of girls deported to Georgia for the right to remain is completed as soon as possible, paying particular attention to the best interests of the child, or that a procedure to examine the “humanitarian right to remain” is carried out. out of office.
