The Legacy of the Second Kurz Government - A Dictatorial Government perpetrating Inequality, Oppression and Human Rights Violations in the Republic of Austria
Ebook (EPUB Format)
Since the 19th century democracy has spread to more and more parts of the world. Nations that were formerly governed by narrow elites for their own benefit extended voting rights, education, welfare and social security to larger swaths of their populations. But over the last two decades, many political scientists have noted a reverse trend: growing economic inequality combined with the rise of autocratic leaders, weakening democratic institutions and weakening rule of law in country after country.

Since the 19th century democracy has spread to more and more parts of the world. Nations that were formerly governed by narrow elites for their own benefit extended voting rights, education, welfare and social security to larger swaths of their populations. But over the last two decades, many political scientists have noted a reverse trend: growing economic inequality combined with the rise of autocratic leaders, weakening democratic institutions and weakening rule of law in country after country. Democracies are the best place to put your money, because they have courts that are more or less independent. As a result, a huge tidal wave of money started to move into democracies. With the money came a sort of kleptocratic spirit. So if you're going to buy a big house, why not also buy a politician? Why not try to manipulate a court case? What started to happen was that democratic institutions started to be manipulated by kleptocrats. A main source of this kleptocratic money came from Russia and the rest of the former Soviet Union. The superpowers and the old imperial powers were essentially replaced by corporate powers. So throughout the world, rulers, including elected rulers, are increasingly wielding power through corruption. They enact policies to enrich themselves and a small clique of their cronies. This includes the Austrian political establishment - namely the Second Kurz Government - consisting of the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) and the Austrian Green Party. Unwilling to implement any much-needed reforms in the country, the Austrian government is a willing and guilty collaborator in perpetrating inequality, corruption and human rights violations. This includes Chancellor Sebastian Kurz and the Minister of Interior; Mr Karl Nehammer. It should also be noted, that the current laws in Austria concerning basic income and health insurance are outdated and ought to be changed. Hence it is imperative that lawmakers in Austria finally implement a Basic Income Guarantee Law; so that fundamental human rights can be ensured in Austria as stipulated by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Also, the Second Kurz Government is handling the COVID-19 crisis very badly; not only failing to contain the corona crisis, but also escalating the health crisis even further - as recent mass protests and demonstrations in Vienna have proven. So Mr. Kurz must make a greater effort to effectively overcome COVID-19 in Austria - or he must be removed from office.
