A prominent American Jewish leader voiced criticism on Sunday of the coalition deal reached between Austrian Chancellor-elect Sebastian Kurz\u2019s conservative People\u2019s Party and the far-right Freedom Party (FP\u00d6).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is severely disquieting that despite the many real concerns known and expressed about the FP\u00d6, it will now retain a position of serious influence, giving the Austrian government a real push even further to the right,\u201d World Jewish Congress President Ronald S. Lauder stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Kurz is a capable man, who has shown very positive attitudes toward Israel and the Jewish people, and I wish him luck as chancellor in leading Austria to great success,\u201d Lauder said of Austria\u2019s 31-year-old incoming head of government. \u201cI hope he will make every effort to ensure that the policies set within his government continue to follow a democratic line, and do not dissolve into dangerous populism.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe FP\u00d6 is a far-right party whose members have in the past expressed xenophobic and anti-Semitic sentiments, yet is has now been charged with overseeing the interior, defense, and foreign ministries, three of the most important and powerful fields of government,\u201d Lauder concluded. \u201cWe have heard promises since the election that FP\u00d6 has softened its policies, but this will remain rhetoric until actual proof of this is shown.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Representative Council of French Jewish Institutions (CRIF) issued a similar statement, saying, \u201cCRIF is worried to see the far-right parties on our doorstep. How can we imagine the harmonious development of Europe with populist parties that want to destroy it?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Israel Hayom reported on Sunday that Kurz\u2019s new government has included a \u201cclear reference to Israel\u2019s Jewish character\u201d in its platform.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Israel Hayom, German Chancellor Angela Merkel\u2019s government is the only other in Europe to have done the same before.<\/span><\/p>\n
