Frases de Jörg Haider

Jörg Haider fue un político austriaco, primero presidente del FPÖ y después, desde 2005 hasta su muerte, líder del partido BZÖ .

Haider se opuso a la inmigración y también al bilingüismo en el sur de Carintia, donde vive una comunidad eslovena. En los años ochenta se opuso a la integración de las comunidades germanoparlantes y eslovenoparlantes en las escuelas de primaria. En 2001 el Tribunal Constitucional austríaco ordenó que se usaran tanto la lengua alemana como la eslovena en señales toponímicas de tráfico en aquellas áreas de Carintia con un diez por ciento al menos de población eslovenoparlante. Haider, en vez de poner señales bilingües, ordenó la retirada de algunas señales que ya existían, lo que llevó a protestas de la minoría eslovena. En 2006, Haider movió personalmente varios metros la señal de Bleiburg en el sureste de Carintia como respuesta a la decisión del Tribunal Constitucional de que la señal, escrita sólo en alemán, era inconstitucional.

Jörg Haider: Frases en inglés

“The social order of Islam is opposed to our Western values. Human rights and democracy are as incompatible with the Muslim religious doctrine as is the equality of women. In Islam, the individual and his free will count for nothing; faith and religious struggle – jihad, the holy war – for everything.”

Jörg Haider

Debate in the Carinthian parliament (13 June 1991)
Contexto: Haider: Someone who is capable of work, but is not willing to work — to take up a related or similar or approximately similar job — should be given the sanction of being forced to take on a job by having his unemployment benefit reduced.
MP Gü nther Hausenblas: That amounts to forced work placement!
Haider: Then I ask you: How do you justify this to the thousands and thousands of hardworking Austrian employees who fulfil their work obligations year after year? How do you defend that to somebody who for example has lost his job as a joiner, but then takes on a similar job in construction, just so that he doesn't have to go on unemployment benefit? And he is paying his hard earned money in ever higher deductions, so that a few can lounge around in the hammock of the social welfare state. That is not a system we can really defend.
Hausenblas: We once had what you're calling for — in the Third Reich!
Haider: No, they didn't have that in the Third Reich, because in the Third Reich they had a proper employment policy, which not even your government in Vienna can manage to bring about. That has to be said.
