The federal government has announced new measures to fight terrorism. In this regard, the federal government has submitted a new anti-terrorism package, according to which electronic surveillance has been planned to prevent ongoing threats.
Recommendations in the package state that the return of citizenship and revocation of the driver's license include the revocation of Austrian citizenship and revocation of the driver's license after a conviction of terrorism, as well as strict gun laws, as well as "religious". There is also the possibility of an increase in criminal activity to effectively combat political extremism. Extremist organizations and places of worship should be more easily shut down in the event of terrorist propaganda. In addition, the jurisdiction of public prosecutors and courts for terrorist criminals should be limited, and the flow of money to and from Austria should be better controlled. The TK is also being restructured. The monitoring regulation has to be adapted here. The symbolic law has to be extended so that more opportunities will be created to dissolve extremist organizations.
Prime Minister Sebastian Kurz said in a press conference that our country is mourning the victims, mourning with the mourners and of course that is not enough. Terrorism must be fought in every possible way. More than 300 so-called "foreign fighters" have been counted in Austria so far. These are people who have traveled to Syria or Iraq or at least tried to join is there.
