Vienna appearance planned
AfD man to speak at fraternity close to the FPÖ
The controversial AfD politician Matthias Helferich is to give a speech in Vienna on Friday. The German is apparently planning to appear at the Aldania fraternity. This is a fraternity to which several high-ranking Viennese FPÖ politicians belong.
Expulsion proceedings are underway against Helferich in the AfD. He is said to have described himself in chats as "the friendly face of National Socialism (NS)". According to the "Stoppt die Rechten" initiative, Helferich will give a guest speech at an Aldania celebration, reported the Ö1 "Morgenjournal" on Tuesday.
FPÖ did not comment on Helferich's appearance
The Aldania is a fraternity. Well-known Viennese Freedom Party members are said to be members. In addition to party leader Dominik Nepp and club chairman Maximilian Krauss, National Bank director Eduard Schock is also named. The FPÖ did not wish to comment on Helferich's appearance on Tuesday when asked by APA.
Criticism of proximity to Viennese FPÖ politicians
In a reaction, SOS-Mitmensch called on Nepp and Krauss to leave the fraternity or resign. "It is unacceptable that politicians are members of organizations that roll out the red carpet for right-wing extremists who are too extreme even for the AfD, which is suspected of being anti-constitutional," said SOS-Mitmensch spokesperson Alexander Pollak.
Helferich is too extreme even forthe AfD
In Germany, Matthias Helferich is the subject of expulsion proceedings. The reason: he is too far-right even for the AfD. Attempts have already been made to expel the former deputy state speaker of the AfD in North Rhine-Westphalia from the party - in vain. The responsible state association is currently conducting the second expulsion proceedings against him.
