Austria’s conservative Chancellor Karl Nehammer wants the right to use cash enshrined in the constitution, he told Austrian media in remarks published on Friday (4 August), an idea the far-right Freedom Party has been pushing for years.

It’s a non-issue meant to deflect from real problems. It’s also summer, so there’s nothing going on and the news are blowing everything out of proportion.

There is a lot going on in Austria. It’s just that it is climate change related floodings, and far-right people don’t like that kind of debate.

It’s really disgusting how even the media covered it for only a week and then didnt mention it again. I guess the Ahrtal only became such a big thing in Germany because of the absence of warnings and resulting deaths.
