Söder insult: fine against ex-politician Grosz. Court still convicts him.
Freedom of expression and speeches on Ash Wednesday deserve special protection. FPÖ and BZÖ - like the AfD in Germany - are right-wing populist and Eurocritical parties in Austria. The judgment can be appealed, so it is not yet legally binding. The Austrian ex-Politician wants to appeal and, if necessary, go to the Federal Constitutional Court. The insult brought Söder “close to the National Socialist regime,” said the judge.
