VIENNA: Austria's far-right Freedom Party has again found itself in hot water over possible links to extremists just as it gears up for crucial European elections in May.
At a press conference earlier this week, FPOe leader and Vice-Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache was quick to distance himself from the IBOe, insisting his party had"nothing to do" with the radical group, known for its anti-immigration stunts. The Standard daily on Thursday re-published a photo which has previously appeared in the Austrian media showing Strache sharing a restaurant table with several IBOe members.
In one of the most prominent cases last year, a lead candidate for the FPOe in a regional election was forced to stand aside after it was revealed that the student fraternity that he belonged to had previously published virulently anti-Semitic songbooks.Analyst Thomas Hofer told AFP it was"a delicate situation for the FPOe".
Popular in white nationalist circles, the theory argues that white Europeans are being deliberately supplanted by non-white immigrants.Analysts say the IBOe is unlikely to be disbanded unless links to terrorist activities emerge beyond the donation.
