Mason Advises Austrian Government
on Public Safety Digital Mobile Radio
Mason Communications, in partnership with Vienna-based consultants, Austroconsult, has been awarded a contract to assist the Austrian Government to procure a national digital mobile radio service for public safety organisations. Work is already underway on this 12-month contract for the Austrian Ministry of Interior. After deciding that a digital trunked mobile radio service would provide a secure environment for the transmission of voice, data and text messages by radio, the Ministry has asked the Mason/Austroconsult partnership to develop an invitation to tender for the service, as well as evaluating tenders received and advising the Ministry in contract negotiations. Mason/Austroconsult will also assess the operational suitability for police mobile communications of two commercial TETRA systems currently in use in separate regions of Austria. In addition, they will produce financial models to assist the Ministry to decide on the best approach for infrastructure procurement, including whether the Government should have a share in the operating company. This project is the latest in a long line of digital mobile radio assignments which Mason has undertaken in Bahrain, Greece, the Isle of Man and the UK.

Temelin agreement: Austrian government coalition remains divided
(559.5350) WISE Amsterdam - The issue is getting more and more tense because of the negotiations between the Czech Republic and the current EU member states about the acceptance of the Czech Republic as a new member of the EU in a few years. Austria has, up till last week, always said it would block its neighbors' membership as long as the Czechs insist on running Temelin. But this position has isolated Austria within the EU as none of the other member states wants to take such a strong position. The 29 November agreement concluded the so-called Melk process in which the two countries have tried to resolve differences over Temelin (see WISE News Communique : "Temelin-1 to 75% then closed again after incident"). Schuessel stated that he accepted Czech assurances about the safety of Temelin in a deal that EU commissioner Verheugen said would "end a blockade of the accession process". (For more background on EU enlargement and nuclear safety, see WISE News Communique Special : "Agenda 2000 - will it increase nuclear safety?")

Call for Support and Solidary for the Protests against the WEF and the Right-Wing-Populisitc Austrian Government on 1.7.2001 in Salzburg/Austria. In a Series of Protests, Meetings of the World Economic Forum, the International Monetary Fond and the World Bank got shaken since the last 4 Years. Especially the Summits of the World Economic Forum have a very familiar Character, which differs from the Importance of their Decisions. Compared with the WEF the meetings of the World Bank are still almost a social event, because (for alibi reasons) NGOs and 3rd World Country Officials are invited. But at the WEF, there are less than 0.5% of the Summit Guests, which are no industrial leaders or global players. Globalization debited to the Poor - The Rich won't finance the future - They just harvest the Fruits. So it's on us, to blockade the event, and show the bad states of their global future. We call to protest on Sunday the 1st of July, and Civil Disobedience during the Days of the Summit - from 30.06./01.07. 2001 till 03.07.2001 in Salzburg

Austrian government collapses
THE RIGHT-WING Austrian ‘Blue-Black’ coalition government collapsed on 9 September after intense quarrels inside the far-right populist Freedom Party (FPÖ), in which Jörg Haider led a coup against the FP֒s ‘pragmatic’ government wing. Elections have been called for 24 November, with chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel, leader of the conservative ÖVP, under pressure from the ruling class to end any collaboration with the ‘unreliable’ FPÖ. The crisis was triggered when the government used the summer’s catastrophic floods as a reason to postpone tax ‘reform’. Part of these measures would have benefited those on lower incomes, by which the FPÖ hoped to win back some of the support it has lost since joining the government in 2000. Facing the possibility of big losses in the elections originally due in 2003, and fearing being sidelined within the FPÖ leadership, Haider acted. He suddenly announced that he was no longer in favour of a government plan to buy 18 new Eurofighter jets, which was already very unpopular. He called for tax reform to go ahead. Haider has also raised a nationalist campaign against a new Czech nuclear power plant at Temelin, and the Czech Republic in general. The FPÖ wants to veto European Union (EU) enlargement and is exploiting the fears of working people with an aggressive campaign against the ‘threat’ of immigrants from new EU states. However, enlargement is vital for the Austrian capitalists and they cannot allow the FPÖ to complicate economic relations.

Far right wrecks Austrian government Fresh fears of extremism as Haider makes a comeback Kate Connolly
Monday September 9, 2002
The Guardian
The Austrian coalition government was in tatters last night after the resignation of three key cabinet ministers and members of the populist rightwing Freedom party, including its leader. The European Union slapped sanctions on the country as a punishment for allowing the far-right, anti-immigrant party into power and the country suffered months of international isolation as a result. Last night the vice-chancellor and FPO leader, Susanne Riess-Passer, announced her resignation along with the finance minister, Karl-Heinz Grasser, and the leader of the parliamentary faction, Peter Westenthaler, following a dramatic and drawn-out internal party leadership battle. Political commentators were last night unanimous in their belief that the collapse of the FPO's leadership would pave the way for Mr Haider - who handed over the reins of power to Ms Riess-Passer almost two and a half years ago - to reinvent the party as an extreme right bloc. Loyalists of Mr Haider have recently been holding discussions with far-right parties across Europe about the possibility of establishing a pan-European far-right bloc. Particular interest has been shown by the Vlaams Blok in Belgium and the Liga Nord in Italy.

20 000 against the new Austrian government!
After the continous nightly demonstrations of several thousands of people against the new Austrian government consisting of the conservative (OeVP) and the extreme right freedom (FPOe) parties, today more than 20 000 people gathered in the streets. Starting from one of the main railway stations the protestants marched through the city and the demonstration ended at around 7 pm at the Place of the 12th of February close to the Karl-Marx- Hof. Today the demonstration was accompanied by a sound-truck on that famous Austrian DJs played music under the slogan "Sound- Politicization". In front of the parliament an event called "Hip- Hop against black/blue" (in Austria black is the political colour of the conservative OeVP, and blue of the right-wing freedom party - FPOe) started at 7 pm and still continues. In the following days the daily protests will go on, and bike-demonstrations and other highly imaginative events are planned. By the way, the building of the community of industrialists in Vienna was briefly occupied yesterday.

International demonstration against the new Austrian government!
On Saturday, the 19th of February, an international demonstration against the new Austrian government takes place in Vienna. The protest is organized by an alliance of human rights organizations. (The original appeal is attached at the end). Official meeting places are at 3:30 pm the parliament, the University of Vienna (both located on the "Ring"), the "Staatsoper" (state opera house), and the "Stephansplatz" (in the city centre at St. Stephan's Cathedral). The different protest marches will meet at the "Heldenplatz" where at 6 pm a mass rally will take place. In any case we all will join this protest, even though for us the criticism in the appeal does not go far enough. For those who like us want to formulate and visualize a further radical left criticism we suggest to march in a common block. These people will meet already at 2 pm at the "Westbahnhof" (main west-station) and then go to the meeting point at the University of Vienna.
Against racism, sexism, and facism in all colours and shapes!

The party's environmental spokeswoman said that the government had stopped putting pressure on the Czech side ever since an agreement was signed between the two countries last December, when the Czech side agreed to an environmental impact study. Austrian nuclear opponents have called a further demonstration against Temelin for Friday.

Austrian government to compensate Czech forced labourers By Beatrice Cady The Czech and Austrian authorities are to sign an agreement concerning financial compensation for Czechs who were used as forced labourers in Austria during the Second World War. Beatrice Cady reports: The Austrian government has agreed to give Czech forced labourers compensation totalling 501 million Austrian schillings (about 1,3 billion Czech crowns or 30 million USD). Up to sixteen thousand Czechs should benefit from this measure. According to the agreement, there were three categories of forced labourers: the first category, prisoners of concentration camps, will receive 105,000 schillings per person ( 273,000 Czech crowns or around 6,825 USD). The second category, industrial workers, will be granted 91,000 Czech crowns per person (2,300 USD), and the third category, agricultural workers, will receive around 52,000 Czech crowns (around 1,300 USD). About 75% of Czech forced labourers belonged to the second category, as they were employed in Austrian industries.

    Neo-fascists join Austrian government
    by Kevin A. Barry and Mary Holmes In a shocking betrayal of even the minimal standards of bourgeois democracy, the conservative Austrian Peoples Party has brought the neo-fascist so-called Freedom Party (FPO) into the government, sparking worldwide protests. Anti-fascist demonstrations involving tens of thousands have taken place in Paris, Amsterdam and other cities. At the level of bourgeois politics, the European Union and Israel have begun a partial diplomatic boycott. Inside Austria itself, labor and left groups have held several large demonstrations, while smaller ones involving thousands occur almost daily in Vienna. One on Feb. 19 drew over 200,000 workers and youth onto the streets of Vienna, including many delegations from abroad. Among the posters were ones connecting Joerg Haider and Slobodan Milosevic. The large turnout led many immigrants to express the idea that they no longer felt so alone and would be more confident about speaking out and joining demonstrations against Haider. Repeatedly, Austria has shown itself a society that has yet to acknowledge its history of complicity with Nazism. In 1986, Austrians elected Kurt Waldheim president, even after his role as a Nazi officer in massacres of resistance fighters in Greece and Yugoslavia was revealed.

    Discontent and repression deepen in Iran
    The February elections in Iran, in which the majority hard line faction of the Islamic Republic candidates lost in favor of "reformist" Islamist candidates, continue to have strong reverberations. In April, the government started the trial of 13 Iranian Jews from the city of Shiraz. They were arrested last year on charges of "espionage for Israel." It is notable that anytime the Islamic regime has faced a major crisis, it has persecuted religious minorities, especially Bahais and Jews, as agents of foreign governments. It should be mentioned that none of the so-called "reformists" has ever taken a stand to defend the rights of these minorities in Iran. Eight of the defendants have "confessed" but four have refused to accept these sham charges. The Islamic regime has a history of "confessions" that were extracted by torture and threats. Soon after Iranian TV broadcast the "confessions," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei gave a Friday sermon in which he once again defended Roger Garaudy, the French former Communist and now Islamicist, for having denied that the holocaust of Jews ever took place. This use and intensification of anti-Semitism have resulted in acts such as the burning of two Jewish-owned stores in Tehran and the harassment of Jewish students in Shiraz. To circumvent the legitimacy crisis the regime faces, during the month of April the government also banned 16 newspapers based on charges that they had offended Islam.

    Friedrich Hebbel, the great Austrian dramatist of the 19th century, described his country as "the small world in which the great world holds rehearsal." If that's the case, we're in trouble. A year ago, the far-right Freedom Party, led by Jorg Haider, sent shock waves rippling through Europe when it joined the Austrian government as an equal coalition partner. A Porsche-driving, populist firebrand with a proclivity for making pro-Nazi statements, Haider built his party into a major political force by scapegoating immigrants and trawling the sewers of ethnic prejudice for votes. Shocking levels of anti-Semitism persist today in Austria, where 50 percent of the population believes that Jews were responsible for their own persecution, according to a survey published by the Austrian newsweekly Gor, and 37 percent said they were "not sure" they could shake hands with a Jew. Catering shamelessly to this constituency, the Freedom Party emerged as the top vote-getter among the Austrian working class and people under 30 in what proved to be the strongest showing of a right-wing extremist movement in Western Europe since World War II. The future belonged to Haider and his cohorts, or so it seemed.

    Artists Protest New Austrian Government
    Source: Arts Wire CURRENT at Arts Wire
    Artists and cultural workers including curator Robert Fleck, playwright Elfride Jelenik, Salzburg Festival director Gerard Mortier, and Wolfgang Staehle/re:austria in New York City are protesting the inclusion of Joerg Haider's far right Freedom Party in the new Austrian coalition government. "Austria got today the first federal government since the end of World War Second with a big participation of Nazis," curator Robert Fleck stated in an email communication to the Self-Organization of the Information Society. (SOIS) Fleck urges international artists and curators to no longer exhibit in Austria. "It has now become absolutely impossible, in moral terms, for any artist, gallerist, museum curator or collector, to exhibit any longer in Austria, or to cooperate with any Austrian institution," he states. "There is only one question to ask: would you have exhibited in Nazi-Germany? Only with a complete boycott of the local artlife, we can help the Austrian artists to survive." Fleck, who curated the exhibition A CENTURY OF ARTISTIC FREEDOM at the Secession in Vienna 1998, was born in Austria, and is currently located at the ERBAN-Ecole Regionale des Beaux-Arts de Nantes in France. He has announced that he will not continue his collaboration in an exhibition about the young art scene in Vienna which was scheduled for Oct. 2000 - April 2001 at Kunsthalle Vienna.
