Neo-Nazi Fringe: Immigration Regulations and Freedom Party

neo-nazi fringe: The two parties have pledged to tighten the country's asylum and immigration regulations while maintaining a firm commitment to the European Union, according to CTV. Kurz has moved his traditionally centrist party to the right, particularly on the issues of migration and Muslims, but has avoided the inflammatory rhetoric of the Freedom Party, which itself has publicly disassociated itself from decades of covert anti-Semitism, but continues to attract a neo-Nazi fringe. About 6,000 people protested outside President Alexander Van der Bellen's office with signs like we don't want any Nazi pigs and Nazis out as Kurz and his new Cabinet were sworn in, the dpa news agency reported. Political opponents have expressed particular concern that the Freedom Party has control of the important Interior, Defence and Foreign Ministries. Kurz served as foreign minister in the outgoing government led by Chancellor Christian Kern, a Social Democrat. Its leader, Heinz-Christian Strache, is now vice chancellor.
