Murders of Women in Austria: "Majority of Perpetrators Are Foreigners. Violence Is Imported"

Hat tip Unzensuriert, Translation by Fousesquawk.

The conservative Austrian blog, Unzensuriert has an interesting article on the statistics as to murdered women in Austria. The conservative Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) is pointing out that most of the murders of women in Austria involve foreign perpetrators and victims. They particularly point out Muslim immigrants. 

I have read a similar report recently out of Sweden which I will dig up. Is this a trend in Western Europe? I'm guessing that it is.

Violence against women, May 5, 2021, 14:22

FPÖ (Freedom Party of Austria) outcry against murder of women: The majority of perpetrators are foreigners-Violence is being imported!

Today, Wednesday, the FPÖ, in the course of a press conference on the murder of women in Austria, took a position and criticized the federal government's measures, which are fundamentally plagiarized. That is because when the FPÖ was in the government, these measures, in this regard, were set out, but not followed through on later, however. It was also pointed out that a good portion of the violence against women was being imported from abroad.

General Secretary Michael Schnedlitz recalled that the Black-Green (Coalition) had thematically plagiarized themselves. Measures such as an online Protection Against Violence summit and a campaign against violence against women had already been anchored in a Council of Ministers decision from December 9, 2020.

Black-Green plagiarize themselves 

Consequently, only old announcements are warmed over. There has already been a "round table" on this. "You cannot solve problems like this when you plagiarize yourselves," says Schnedlitz. And he recalled that under the then-Liberal Interior Minister Herbert Kickl, a screening group was established, which specialized in violence against women. "What became of this group?", asks Schnedlitz. There was also a "Criminal Law Task Force" under the Black-Blue Government at the beginning of 2018, led by then-State Secretary Karoline Edstadtler (ÖVP-Austrian Peoples Party).  "Why hasn't the media since asked whatever happened to the implementation," Schnedlitz also wonders.

The General Secretary also maintains that under Kickl, the extension of the entry ban to include a ban on approaching was implemented through a decision of the National Council. And Schnedlitz also holds the Justice Ministry, the Education Ministry, the Women's Ministry as well as the Foreign Ministry responsible, that all the measures are awaiting implementation. 

For example, education for students was promised, an offer of advice against violence in the name of "honor", or also the assurance that women could access womens' shelters in other federal states. "The federal government has made announcements for years, but does not act. The ÖVP is the prototype for political sullenness. Women finally expect clear actions," says Schnedlitz.

(I) did nothing. Just killed the wife

With shock, FPÖ Womens' spokesperson Rosa Ecker cites the words of a woman murderer. "I have done nothing, just killed my wife." She enumerates this year's woman murders and states that 4 of the perpetrators were Austrian, 5 were migrants, especially Muslims. "It stands out that more than half of the perpetrators and victims are foreigners. The men who are born here have no problem with the (gender) role models that we live with," says Ecker. There are certainly problems with immigrants who want to establish an image of women based on the Islamic social circle. Violence is frequently imported.

Criticism over 210 million  euro advertising budget

Several proceedings of violence against partners have been dropped. The 210 million euros for (its own) advertising budget, which the federal government has at its disposal, would better be used for measures for the protection of women. More money is needed for new facilities and psychological support. "To react with tears is hypocrisy or a bad conscience,"  says Ecker. She recalls that FPÖ proposals against forced marriages or genital mutilations were voted down in the Parliament by the Black-Green (coalition).

"Many women have fear in their own homes, the tormentor lurks within their own four walls," says FPÖ family spokesperson Edith Mühlberghuber. And she also mentioned children in those families, who experience violence. In addition, the length of the "lockdown" against the Corona pandemic, and the resulting financial tensions, further sharpen the (propensity) of violence of many of the concerned people.
