Tyrol’s red youth organizations again criticized their party leader Georg Dornauer on Tuesday. The reason was his statements about a conceivable “zero asylum upper limit”. The deputy governor had “crossed a line”.
To underline the criticism, a banner with the inscription ‘We are not like that’ was hung at the party headquarters in Innsbruck. “We clearly need a debate on how to guarantee the right to asylum in Europe for people seeking protection,” said the youth organizations Action of Critical Students (AKS), Young Generation (JG), Socialist Youth (SJ), Association of Socialist Students (VSStÖ) and the social democratic freedom fighters of Tyrol.
“Anyone who questions or even wants to weaken the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) has learned absolutely nothing from the darkest chapter in our history,” said Wolfgang Grünzweig of the Association of Social Democratic Freedom Fighters.
“Great damage to social democracy”
“Anyone who loses the support of the party, but receives applause from neo-Nazi right-wing extremist sites such as Info-Direkt, is certainly on the wrong boat in social democracy in terms of content,” says Vincent Gogala, chairman of the VSStÖ Innsbruck. . Such statements should not go unanswered, the report said. “Anyone who causes such great damage to social democracy must take full responsibility for it instead of dreaming about ministerial positions,” Gogala emphasized.
At a distance from Babler, in line with Doskozil
Dornauer had recently distanced himself, at least partially, from the substantive course of SPÖ faction leader Andreas Babler. Dornauer not only supported the asylum upper limit of state party leader Hans Peter Doskozil from Burgenland, but went even further: “You can even discuss with me whether the asylum upper limit should not be zero in Austria in the coming years. ‘ he said in an interview to the ‘standard’.
