New Austria coalition marks ‘dangerous development,’ says UN rights chief
The UN rights chief says the far-right tilt of Austria’s new coalition government marked a “dangerous development,” and cautioned against “the peddling of fear” in European politics.
“I am very worried,” the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein tells AFP in an interview, cautioning that the new Chancellor Sebastian Kurz’s decision to take hard-right positions on things like immigration to win support marked “a dangerous development… in the political life of Europe.”
