After foiling an attack on Taylor Swift’s subsequently cancelled concert in Vienna, the Interior Ministry is promoting the investigation of encrypted chats on mobile phones to unmask extremists.

A decision before the elections is unlikely, but even after that the leadership of the People’s Party wants to support surveillance by messengers and even make it a condition of the coalition. For some it would be a matter, for others it would be a danger.
