During the discussion, Mayor Rabl put himself in front of the German national students to protect them. He said: “I think it’s a mistake to make suspicions without a factual basis and to denounce clubs without a concrete starting point.”
A few examples researched by the Documentation Archive of the Austrian Resistance (DÖW) make it clear that this is not a matter of denunciation. Gothia Wels, as the host of the boys’ day, published the neo-Nazi “National Info-Telephone” on its website. Germania Ried organized a secret concert with the neo-Nazi songwriter “Fylgien”. The Donauhort Aschach threatened on the Internet with “German blows” and called the “Loyalty Song of the SS” as his connecting song. The Eysn zu Steyr invited Identitarian boss Martin Sellner to the lecture.
The Querus-Markomannia Linz announced its support for the right-wing extremists. Vandalia Wien posted an anti-Semitic poster by the former German right-wing terrorist Peter Naumann in its booth. The Germania Wiener Neustadt attracted attention with a song book with anti-Semitic and racist lyrics.
The ÖPR’s “Junges Leben” magazine has repeatedly advertised right-wing extremist publications. These listed member organizations of the ÖPR will provide some of the 700 to 1000 participants at the Burschentag in the city of Wels.
In view of the more than clear factual substrate in relation to the political orientation of the Austrian Pennälerring, the unloading and cancellation of the subsidy for their boys’ day is inevitable.
