Westenthaler will not be top candidate for BZÖ

Westenthaler received a sentence of nine months on probation for perjury during his testimony at the trial of one of his bodyguards charged with assault last March.
The bodyguard attacked a spokesman for former Justice Minister Karin Gastinger in a Vienna nightspot on the evening of the 1 October 2006, but Westenthaler, who witnessed the attack, said during his testimony that he had witnessed nothing.

Austrian Times

Occasional walks in green area of Schmelz proved to be useful, because there I observed sheets of papers fixed to the lampposts. It was announcement of upcoming meeting with FPÖ leader H.Strache, and no additional info was available on Internet.
Around nine o’clock today Strache appeared in the gateway of Schutzhaus restaurant.
The private gathering, presented mostly by retired persons greeted him admirably.

Strache is extremely good-looking blue-eyed man with trim figure.
Once when I photographed him in Graz two years ago, something in his posture reminded me of Mussolini, how Duce was depicted by old film chronics.
Perhaps, sex with such a person could be enjoyable performance.
I heard Strache promised he would occupy Vienna mayor post after new elections in 2010.
I wanted to understand what makes Strache rather popular among Austrians.
May be popularity is something one can not control, but only constant years-long work gives chance to this miracle to happen.
As anybody else collecting political information, I come across constant reports about activities of Strache. One can sense his vibes.
What can be hardly said about others.
For example, when I lived in Graz I had impression that all Austria was dark red. Red as tomato.
Nowadays I hear nothing of persons who shared their incomes with poor to get chairs and corresponding salaries in Landtag.

Werner Faymann

The daily newspaper ÖSTERREICH published in its Sunday edition the results of recent survey on upcoming elections.

Survey predicts that for the first time seven parties of the country would enter the parliament. ÖVP gained 29% of voices, SPÖ – 25%. At the third place was the FPÖ with 15% of voters, being ahead of the Greens by one per cent. The BZÖ got 7%, Dinkhauser - 6%, and Liberal Forum - 4%.

In the election campaign barometer of ÖSTEREICH social democrat Werner Faymann is the leader. 38% of the Austrian voters have favorable impression of him. Alexander Van der Bellen of the Greens gains sympathies of 31% of voters and he is two points ahead of H.C. Strache from the FPÖ. ÖVP leader Wilhelm Molterer and Fritz Dinkhauser gained only 21% of supporters.

News: Joerg Haider removed three more asylum seekers from Carinthia on Tuesday night in an operation that was kept secret from his colleagues in the federal government.

Haider and his party (BZÖ) have been at odds with the federal government Interior Minister Maria Fekter on this issue and are continuing their highly controversial policy to remove criminal asylum seekers from the province.

Three asylum seekers who had committed a crime were refused further accommodation and food by the Carinthian provincial government on Tuesday before being taken over the provincial border with Styria by bus, on route to Traiskirchen refugee camp in Lower Austria.

The asylum seekers are two Armenians aged 14 and 43 and a 44-year-old Chechen. The two Armenians are father and son. The father is accused of having threatened someone with a knife. In the case of the Chechen man, the offense is about drug trafficking. (more…)

Press conference with J. Haider and P. Westenthaler, 17.07.08

Jörg Haider

Today I visited press conference with Joerg Haider and Peter Westenthaler in BZOe quarters. For a long time already, I wished I could photograph Joerg Haider. His speech was rather short though. As I was not satisfied with regular shots I made, which looked rather boring, similar to millions of other press snaps, I prefer to transform them including tiny part of my personality in every picture.

Pressekonferenz mit BZÖ-Chef Klubobmann Peter Westenthaler
und Landeshauptmann Jörg Haider. Thema: “Aktuelles zur Nationalratswahl”

Несколько трансформированных снимков, сделаных мной сегодня во время пресс-конференции с Йоргом Хайдером и Петером Вестенталером в штаб-квартире BZOe
в Вене на улице Доротеергассе – на подходе. Йорг Хайдер – очень колоритная фигура, один из немногих австрийских политиков, о ком вы наверно что-нибудь слышали.

Photo was made during one of manifestations in center of Vienna. The man with the dog has inscription at his shirt: “Nothing moves forward without Haider”
According to my private statistics J�rg Haider is the most frequent Google search term after words sex and nudity that direct visitors to my website.

When you live in the western country and bring reminiscences about totalitarian society in broad audience you easily gain understanding and support.

Act of critical evaluation suggests unspoken comparison of what was before and what is now. It can sound like compliment in address of western democracy.

Everybody would easily imagine that Galina�s soviet life was only abuse and suppression, that she was persecuted as minor progressive thinker, failed to find justice in her righteous struggle and moved to the West, where she found eventually her happy land.
However, not all is that simple (more…)
