Marlene Svazek calls for action against political Islam

Marlene Svazek, the Salzburg FPÖ leader and Deputy Governor, has called for decisive action regarding political Islam and immigration. Her comments follow an interview with former State Security Director Omar Haijawi-Pirchner, who warned that political Islam poses a significant threat to democracy and that the Muslim Brotherhood has strong representation in Austria.

Svazek argued that sufficient debate has already taken place and that the government must move toward “uncompromising action.” She specifically advocated for limiting general immigration from Islamic countries and called for the deportation of foreign criminals, Islamists, and hate preachers, alongside stricter citizenship laws.
