Austrian party leader Jörg Haider killed in car accident
The Austrian party leader Jörg Haider was killed in a car accident early Saturday morning.
The governor of the Austrian province Kärnten, and party leader for BZÖ (The Union for Austrias Future) Jörg Haider was killed in a traffic accident early Saturday in Klagenfurt, capital of Kärnten, it was reported by the news agency APA.
The 58 year old Haider was driving his service car when it for unknown reasons left the road. Haider suffered severe chest and head injuries and died shortly after the accident.
In the general elections 1999, Jörg Haiders FPÖ received 27% of the votes and could triumphantly take a place in the coalition government with the Conservative party (ÖVP). As a result of Haider's inclusion in the government Austria was boycotted by 14 other EU-countries.
In 2000 Haider resigned from the party leadership of FPÖ. In the election 2002 the party lost many votes, but Haider retained his popularity and kept the position as governor of Kärnten.
In 2005 a new party BZÖ was formed by splitting off from the FPÖ, and Haider became the party chairman of BZÖ.
In the national elections in September the two nationalist parties made big gains. Haiders party got 11% of the vote.
Haider was born in the province of Kärnten. He studied Law and Political science in Vienna and was employed as assistant at the university before entering politics.
He became chairman of the FPÖ 1986 and was elected to parliament in Vienna 1992 to 1999.
In the elections 1999 his anti-immigration and anti-EU policies guided guided FPÖ to the position as Austrias second largest party. He was the first right-wing populist politician in Europe that managed to win a seat in government for his party. Haider did not receive a ministerial post himself, and a year later he resigned as party chairman.
hahaha
LOL. Who are you kidding? The BS comes out left and right.
Haider was kiss-buddy with terrorist islamic tyrants who shared his vicious antisemitism and anti-americanism:
Haider in Lybia:
Haider in Baathist Iraq:
He was like those Stormfront or KKK types... supporting terrorists abroad to kill Jews, just not wanting them in their backyard marrying their daughters.
“Heavy weaponry used...hole in roof.”
So...someone shot him from above—while he was in a moving car.
Let me guess...UN Black helicopters!
Wow, I think I just read an article on him the other day off of drudge. I’m much more inclined to believe in foul play regarding this accident rather than Princess Diana’s crash, that’s for sure.
Strobe light, the method used with Princess Diana, was upscaled here, with significantly heavier weaponry.
It is now pointeless to carefully execute this type of murders.
It is actually exactly the opposite. The masses should immediately be told what happened, not like 11 years ago with Diana, with the murderers gradually revealing details, for 10 years, until completing the process (releasing the photo shot exactly the same second as the strobe flashed) ten years later, late 2007.
Good.
The world has seen enough charismatic Austrian National Socialists. May he rest in pieces.
I wish. However, that hole was created by rescue equipment -- it held the frame of the car steady while the doors were pried off.
Give us a link to footage proving that, after explaining to us why the media did not show any footage, other that in this case a picture is worth 1000 videos...
The Phaeton was VWs attempt to create a vehicle to compete with the Mercedes S-class and BMW 7-series. While they had the Bentley (VW bought Bentley), those were super-luxurious vehicles, and thus they decided to build something a level below the Bentley. Thus the Phaeton, which was a very good vehicle in every way ....it just never sold because as good as it is, no one would spend S-class money for a VW (now matter how good it is, which really irked the engineers since the Phaeton really was a great car).
Now, just because the cars are safe doesn't make them (or their occupants) invincible (just ask princess Di, another person who died under interesting circumstances). It is just that it is interesting how it happened. If he was driving a Hyundai or a Honda then it is easy to see how he could have died, or if it was a head-on collusion with a truck (I don't care how 'safe' your car is ....hit a Mack truck headon and you ARE going to lose that battle) ...however it seems like they are saying the car lost control and hit something. What they need to establish is what speed is required to do that level of damage to a Phaeton.
anyways, it is VERY possible that it was a normal accident (hey, things happen). However, Haider was a very polarising figure (personally I quite literally dislike his movement, since all sorts of people used it as an excuse for a number of crimes ...however, I am not an Austrian and could care less what types of people are elected there) and he had a lot of enemies. Most of them small, but a couple had reach and ability.
I guess we will see what happens.
Good riddance. Filthy Nazi.
