The results of recent elections in Austria were very disappointing. More and more people are lured by the dark side. Right wing populists are gaining more power using fear and hate as their main weapons. It's always someone else's fault. Blaming the foreigners, homosexuals and the EU for unemployment, crime and the "decline of the society" has worked pretty well in the past few decades in Austria.
Fortunately the situation is not as bad as it might seem. There are still many people who want to live in a tolerant society who appreciate diversity. Even though the right wing populists are supported by about 25% of the voters the number of people who would never ever vote for them in an election is still bigger and is expected to grow after the recent events in the Austrian politics.
Last night there was a demonstration at the parliament building in Vienna. Thousands protested against current developments in Austria. Many think that the right wing extremists overstepped the line.
