Austria is now going through a political situation which can only remind us about events which sadly marked the last century. This national - populist party has just entered the government with its allies, the Christian conservative party.

Hitler s access to power was also due to economical, political and social international facts. Let us not forget that he was given power by the body of employers and the German right wing. Moreover, J rg Haider s success, democratically acquired, encourages all extreme right parties in Europe. It is nevertheless neither a democratic victory nor a victory of democracy. The access to power of a racist and xenophobe party fortunately leads Vienna and other capitals to a sudden awareness.
