"This resolution contains many points that I fully support on the IGC, on the Charter of Fundamental Rights and other aspects of Community policy. However, I find myself unable to support it because of the inclusion of paragraph 8 on Austria. I was proud of the EU when it imposed sanctions on Austria when the new coalition formed because of the views and actions of the Freedom Party: a party whose policies have xenophobia running through them like Blackpool through rock; a leader who has praised Hitler and the Waffen SS, refused to condemn terrorist bombings against Roma and congratulates Nazi war veterans for keeping to their principles. Since then little has changed. Freedom Party ministers continue to echo Nazi party slogans and rhetoric of the Thirties and Forties. It is too soon now to allow Austria fully back into the European fold. It will send the wrong message to the Freedom Party and their fellow travellers elsewhere in Europe. In memory of the victims of yesterday I will vote "no" to their collaboration with the criminals of tomorrow."@en1
