Analysis: Austria’s deputy leader pushes extremist argument to warn against immigration
Austrian Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache, chairman of the Freedom Party, speaks at an election rally in Vienna on April 26. By Emily Tamkin Emily Tamkin Reporter covering foreign affairs Email Bio Follow April 28 at 1:42 PM Ahead of European Parliament elections, Austrian Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache has described his staunchly anti-immigration Freedom Party as committed to fighting “population exchange,” a term associated with and used by the extreme right.
But then came Strache’s interview with the Krone, Austria’s largest newspaper. In it, he said controversies such as the furor over the “Town Rat” poem could help his party, which was founded in the 1950s and was first led by Anton Reinthaller, a former Nazi. “Population exchange” has the same ideological roots as the theory of “Great Replacement,” articulated in 2012 by the French philosopher Renaud Camus. Camus argued that migrants, particularly Muslims, threaten to overwhelm European civilization. His work inspired, among others, the New Zealand mosque shooter.
