At some point, this was clear to all in new Black-Blue Government coalition, right edge of FPOe would disrupt concord. This happened sooner than expected. The Nazi songbook from Pennalen fraternity of Liberal top candidate Udo Farmer, in which victims of Holocaust are ridiculed, tarnished final spurt of blue election campaign in Lower Austria – and cost Liberals probably also a few PROZENTPU Restricted. Neverless, party steadfastly held on to peasants, almost defiantly he was defended.
Even if Heinz-Christian Strache recently claimed something different: FPOe and fraternities are closely interwoven and dependent on each or. The one to recruit useful personnel, or to gain political influence. The Völkischer, German national connections, wher Pennale student associations or student associations, harm image of party. While Heinz Christian-Strache tries to statesman as vice-chancellor, Korporierte is becoming a disturbing factor. They despise ideological compromises. A indissoluble dilemma.
The history of FPOe is also a story of fraternities, whose significance swayed in party. Times y were more powerful, n pushed back to sidelines. If party were to be trimmed for government, y were in way, and ir influence went back. Jörg Haider almost completely dissleeked lads in nineties and surrounded himself with wind of favourites of his Buberlpartie.
In times of crisis, however, Korporierte was always used, y were backbone of party, especially if it was not for man – without m FPOe would no longer exist in its present form.
"For party this is a double-edged sword," says Lothar Höbelt, a historian at University of Vienna, once a FPOe consultant and co-author of party program of 1997. In external effect, fraternities would damage reputation of party. "For electorate, all se associations are elitist and exclusive and potentially a stone of thrust," he says. On or hand, y were almost unconditionally loyal to party.
This article dates back to time No. 06/2018. Here you can read entire output.After secession of BZÖ, " chaff separated from wheat," said Strache in an interview book with Andreas Mölzer, which appeared in year 2006. "The Arms Student Camp" was " support" and had "assumed responsibility as always in times of crisis".
Strache brought back fraternities, he couldn't help it any or way. He heaved m into important party functions and resumed commitment to "German people, Language and cultural community" in party program. And Korporierten did not repeat mistake of past: y did not let go of party. Now members of fraternities, but also German national Mädelschaften, sit in party board and in country Parties. One third of members of National Council belong to a confederation, y are brought into cabinets of ministers and placed in state-owned enterprises. The reservoir of well-trained staff away from connections is tiny in FPOe; An easy game for Korporierte.
