The inn operated illegally, half of the people present without valid 2G proof: 39 police officers and six officers from the financial police had their hands full on Friday evening. Well-known opponents of the measures, including the former doctor Konstantina Rösch, had arranged to meet in St. Johann am Steinfelde (district of Neunkirchen) in Lower Austria. 107 guests came together in a Greek restaurant for which neither an operating permit nor a trade license existed.
In addition to violations of the Covid 19 Measures Act, the operators were reported on suspicion of tax evasion. Several illegal workers also worked in the restaurant. 61 of the guests present were reported because they could not show valid 2G proof.
“endangering democracy”
One of those present was not at all happy about it: Gottfried Küssel, a neo-Nazi who had been convicted several times, was so upset about the official act that he was also reported for violating decency.
The local operators rejected the allegations: It was all about private premises. These would be used by the “Alliance for Fundamental Rights and Freedom” and the association “Trivium international”. The Greek operator also called the premises “asylum home for the unvaccinated”.
Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (VP) commented on the incident on Saturday: “The Office for the Protection of the Constitution is closely monitoring the close networking of the right-wing extremist scene and the opponents of the measures. The police will do everything possible to counteract the formation of parallel societies that endanger democracy,” he said.
According to the directorate for state security and intelligence, one can already see the emergence of a parallel society here. This is shown, among other things, by the fact that their own bars are frequented and the guests exchange ideas about how to get fake vaccination cards or where to find doctors who issue mask exemptions. The exchange about this usually takes place via groups on the Telegram news service.
