FPOE+OEVP and the resistance against
Last evening the conservative OEVP and far right FPOE have come to an final agreement about building together a new government in Austria. Now a government with participation of the FPOE is only a few days away anymore. The only step now missing is the formal confirmation of the federal president of Austria. Joerg Haider probably won't be part of the government (to reduce the protests of other countries) but he will still be the man in the background, telling the others where to go. And: Even a government without Haider will incorporate right-extremists, because his followers are nothing better than their leader.
While the press-conference in which the agreement was presented to the public was still going on, some 500 persons gathered in front of the parliament (where the talks had taken place) to protest against the planned government. After then some 200 Persons marched through the city and blocked the traffic (which was not too succesfull as it allready was 1 a.m. when these protests took place).
Meanwhile the occupation of the OEVP-Headquarter still goes on. At the moment (3 a.m.) there are still some 50 supporters in front of the building. The atmosphere is good although until now the occupation is being neglected totally by the austrian media.
Even (and then still more) a government with a participation of the FPOE is in charge the inner and outher pressure must not be lowered!
