A replica on the statements of the Slovenian Foreign Minister
A comment from KHD chairman Andreas Mölzer
So the Slovenian Foreign Minister has now visited the Carinthian Perschmann Hof, Locked a wreath and youngest participants in the youngest “Antifa Camp”, The as is well known that the goal of a police operation has become, Your sympathy expressed. Although she let us know , that additional "consciousness formation" in the Austrian population apparently had to be created with regard to the Nazi crimes.
Now you can say with fug and right, that especially in the commemorative year 2025 In this regard, some things have happened in Carinthia. The not entirely undisputed exhibition in the Carinthia Museum and those in the state archive are probably enough for that. And when it comes to the police operation on the Perschmann Hof, So the report to an examination committee will soon show, Who was responsible for the escalation, The youngsters or the police officers.
And in terms of historical awareness of consciousness, the Slovenian side would have some catching up to do: The numerous murder- and skull sites in Slovenia, on which the Tito partisans their opponents – Croats, Slovenian cathedral chances, Displaced folk Germans, Prisoners of war and mostly civilians - straightened, one would have to put it into public awareness as well. And Austria's busy Foreign Minister Beate Meindl Reisinger would have a variety of occasions in the event of a visit to Slovenia, to put down wreaths and to speak words of regret.
We are also in Carinthia – The responsible policy, But also the patriotic civil society - honestly for the preservation of the Slovenian ethnic group, their culture and language endeavors, While the old Austrians of German mother tongue in Slovenia are withheld all minority rights.
So good neighborhood demands mutual honesty – also in relation to the younger painful history.
