What a bunch of hypocrites.
Austria has a bad history with xenophobia at the beginning of the 20th century and later. The Nazi were popular before Hitler took the power in Germany. They aren’t the victims people think. They were more proactive with the regime.
Nowadays, it’s for electoral purpose and for internal politic agenda. It has mostly nothing to do with Romania and Bulgaria.
Wait, people see Austria as a victim of the Nazis?
It was the official narrative of the allies after WW2. They expected the Austrians to fight against the Nazis. It didn’t work. After that, the Soviet liberated Vienna but the west didn’t want them to joint the east block. The less to Stalin, the better. The cold war began…
The world had to wait 1991 to see a Chancellor expressing apologize.
