Police investigate
Charges filed for Hitler salute at Carinthian Pride parade
Carinthian police officers are currently investigating an incident that allegedly took place a few days ago at the rainbow parade in Spittal (Carinthia).
Supporters of the LGBTQI community marched through Spittal for the fourth time to protest for equality and tolerance in June. As the police have now confirmed, there was an incident of a national socialist nature during the protest: "A complaint has been filed and investigations are now underway", according to the Carinthia Provincial Police Directorate.
Hitler salute and weapons implied
The accusation: a group of young boys allegedly gave the Hitler salute to the parade procession near the city park, indicated weapons with their hands and shouted National Socialist slogans. "We were greeted with many positive reactions, but also confronted with vile incitement and Hitler salutes," as one participant wrote on social media. It felt like traveling back in time: "Something like this must not be possible!" "Let's fight against hate and hate speech," commented another user.
Rainbow crosswalk covered up
Something similar happened in Klagenfurt a few days ago, when unknown people used flares to cover a rainbow crosswalk with Carinthian flags and distributed flyers with racist content.
